On August 6th we witnessed history. SpaceX turned an idea into reality. After just under 2 years the first Starship prototype was stacked, proving that SpaceX wants to make humanity a multi-planetary species.

An exciting start to Starship’s thirteenth test flight! S40 is currently in space after successfully deploying 20 V3 Starlink sats, with engine relight coming up next.
Booster 20 successfully made it through stage sep and boost back but lost control into the landing burn after some engines failed to ignite. Still a big improvement in booster performance over Flight 12!
🚨 T-10 mins! Best of luck to the SpaceX teams and Godspeed S40 and B20! You got this 💪

Welcome to launch day!! Weather is currently still a watch item but Boca Chica Beach is closed and SpaceX is going for it, hoping to find a break in the storms. A little over 4 hrs until the window opens.

SpaceX is going to gamble on a break from the clouds and rain. Overall, it will come down to how fast this system moves through. Some models have it moving inland pretty quick, others slow it as it reaches the shore line.
This will come down to a go/no-go poll at SpaceX to start propellant load, and then the final T-0 go poll as well.
Welcome to the launch site S40! T-24 hrs until the window opens.

Tropical Storm Bertha remains the big watch item for Flight 13 tomorrow, but on the technical side all appears to be progressing smoothly. B20 has completed the last of its testing and S40 is currently en route to Pad 2!

🚨FLIGHT 13 NET JULY 23
SpaceX are now targeting no earlier than Thursday, July 23rd for Flight 13! Weather will be a big watch item for a launch later in the week.
B21 has just about finished detanking after completing its initial cryo test. Meanwhile, Booster 20 is undergoing Raptor swaps while S40 stands by at production site. Just under 48 hrs to go until the Flight 13 launch window opens!

And there’s official confirmation by @SpaceX themselves! (NET) Monday it is! 🥳
STARSHIP FLIGHT 13 NET MONDAY! 🚨
The FAA has updated the primary launch date to Monday, July 20th, with the 21st as a backup. This allows SpaceX teams time to swap the two engines that caused the recent abort. Good luck to the teams!
