Booster 19 common dome preparing to be stacked onto the A2:4 section. It will be interesting to see if this booster is speed stacked. Not speed stacked - meaning rushed - but less delays between each operation

The second arm of the chopsticks for Pad A have been shortened down. Now all of the landing rail components, and hydraulics can be re-installed in their shortened configuration. 🎥: @LabPadre


Don’t miss it! Going to be one of our longer streams this week that’s for sure.

I flew over B18 and captured this... YouTube link: youtu.be/O8WVudbQ8aU Stay tuned for Starbase Weekly livestream live in 2 hours for the full analysis by the team.

NGL, gor half a second I thought B19 stacking was starting tonight. Nope, just the business end of B17 headed to the scrap yard

That's it! The 6th and final launch mount leg is now down! - it's been a good run Pad 1! 🔥 📸: @NASASpaceflight



I kind of wish they put the longer chines on the back side of the booster instead of the front. That’s the only part of this design that seems slightly goofy to me.

Super heavy booster 18 on the road to Starbase Massey's test site for initial cryo proof testing. This is the first next gen V3 booster and will launch on Starship test flight 12 as soon as January 2026. 11/20/25

Wow I’m really liking the path Blue Origin is headed down! Seems like most people expected them to settle with current design of BE4 and NG instead of iterating the design over time. I hope the upgrade thrust will help it get off the pad faster! Can’t wait to see the 9 engine…

Starting with NG-3, we will phase in a series of upgrades to the New Glenn launch system designed to increase payload performance, launch cadence, and enhance reliability. Read more: bit.ly/3XCRfiz

Lots of interesting details here but I'm really liking the extra paneling on the forward heat shield. Its clear they plan to continue having the center engines gimbaled outward during hot staging. I would love to know how many stage separation events they expect this to be…

Another one down! Gotta love watching these massive legs fall and slam into the stump of the opposite leg. Pretty efficient way of breaking this into smaller pieces. Lots of sparks flying after the collision 🎥: @NASASpaceflight


Booster 18, the first V3 booster has rolled out from the Megabay ahead of transport to Massey's tonight! It's my speculation that this will be the first time we have seen a full cryo test (both tanks) performed on a booster, since Booster 9, more than 2 years ago. This is a…

The Booster thrust-sim stand has arrived in the ring yard, staging outside of MB-2. The booster lift jig also moved into MB-1. Looks like we may get to see Booster 18 real soon! @LabPadre

Hmm seems like @LabPadre has some sort of big update coming soon?

2 weeks 12pm 📡



While one Launch Mount is being rapidly demolished, another is nearing completion. The two remaining hood sections for the LOX and CH4 BQD's have been installed. This looks 1000x better than the OG Launch Mount! One of the last remaining items are 20 doors for the hold down…
