SpaceX's Massive Overhaul at the Launch Site | Starbase Update

In this week's Starbase Update, we dive into the latest developments at SpaceX's Starbase facility. Ship 28 is undergoing crucial tile work to prepare for its next flight, while the Starfactory nears completion with impressive cranes ready to handle massive loads. Mega Bay 2 receives new glass panels, and a mysterious concrete structure is taking shape at the Sanchez Site. We bid farewell to SN15's aft section and ponder its fate.

At the launch site, the existing tank farm sees significant upgrades, with new subcoolers being integrated. An expansion of the tank farm introduces horizontal tanks that could replace vertical ones, signaling further advancements in Starship technology.

On the orbital launch mount, essential maintenance work is in progress, including the removal of clamps and the return of the dancefloor. We explore the significance of guiding pins and the repair of the "chopsticks." Booster 10's static fire test campaign draws closer.

Lastly, we're excited about the "GATEWAY TO MARS" sign installation at the launch site, reflecting SpaceX's ambitious goals.
