Billions of butterflies are invading Starbase right now! I'm surprised there aren't millions of birds following this migration. All the grackles must be in a food coma already or something
I've come to appreciate boring hotfires. Our BE-7 team recently completed a 2,500 second hotfire test at 10klbf on a development engine, setting the record for the longest-duration turbo pump-fed liquid rocket engine hotfire. This built on some of the most rigorous testing in the history of propulsion, with the previous record set by the RS-25 engine that powered the Space Shuttle. They recorded two 2,017 second tests in 1988. It's not lost on us that we're following a path those engineers blazed, and we're grateful for it. Grab the popcorn and enjoy watching 41 minutes of hotfire goodness.
Today, legacy structures at historic SLC-6 were safely cleared to make way for a new era of spaceflight. With an outgrant issued by the U.S. Space Force in 2025, SpaceX is now modernizing the pad to support next generation spacelift operations.
@deltaIV9250 Art of the grift, if he wasn't an old soviet boomer he would be doing MAGA Redpill Podcasts right now until at least midterms. Credit where credit is due for someone in power for that long he still hasn't lost his sense for telling the wind direction.
Gwynne Shotwell is anticipating SpaceX's 13th Starship Flight could happen some time in July with monthly flights thereafter with Flight 14 hopefully being their first attempt at full orbit! 🔥

The LR13000 crane is officially active lifting the first of nine modules for the first Starship tower at Launch Complex 37.
Does this pad have an official name yet @TurkeyBeaver
