Elon Musk just declared Starship Flight 6 Launch SOON After MASSIVE Booster Static Fire!
Get ready for an adrenaline rush!
In a dazzling display of engineering prowess, just under two weeks after the triumphant Flight 5, the iconic Launch Pad Starbase roared back to life with a breathtaking static fire test of Booster 13. With Flight 6 looming on the horizon, excitement is at an all-time high!
But that's not all—SpaceX has just reached a monumental milestone, celebrating its 100th launch this year with the ever-reliable Falcon 9!
And across the globe in China, a jaw-dropping SpaceX replica has just made its grand debut, capturing the world's attention like never before!
So buckle up and let’s dive into all the thrilling details in today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
Elon Musk just declared Starship Flight 6 Launch SOON After MASSIVE Booster Static Fire!
After Booster 13 (B13) arrived at the Launch Pad on October 22, preparations for its static fire test were clear, especially with the announcement of road closures. By the morning of October 23, B13 had been lifted onto the Orbital Launch Mount (OLM). Once in place, the scaffolding was removed, and additional systems were tested to ensure readiness.
On October 24, with Chopstick and Ship Quick Disconnect (QD) systems secured, final preparations began. By 1:00 p.m. CDT, the road was closed and the pad cleared. By late afternoon, the OLM and tank farms were venting significantly as fueling began. Frost levels on the booster quickly rose, especially in the liquid oxygen (LOX) tank, which filled faster than the liquid methane, indicating an upgraded fueling process. LOX was eventually fully loaded, while methane reached roughly one-third capacity.

At 7:11 p.m., the water deluge system activated, followed by a powerful ignition of B13’s engines. Frost on the booster reflected the flames, creating an impressive glow around the OLM. Like previous tests, the engines produced a strong layer of dust and smoke that covered the surrounding area. Based on the observed thrust and the test’s duration of approximately 9-10 seconds, it’s likely that all 33 Raptor engines fired, generating an estimated thrust exceeding 7,000 tons—demonstrating the booster’s formidable power.
Once the engines shut down, detanking began, and the road reopened around 9:00 p.m. With no reported issues on the pad or with B13, the test concluded as expected, marking the completion of all B13’s individual testing. Now, it stands ready for the next stages in its launch preparation.
In the coming days, B13 may be transported back to the Production Site. SpaceX has scheduled brief road closures for October 25, from 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., and again on October 26, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., likely in preparation for moving the booster from the pad to the factory.
Once back at the Mega Bay, B13 will undergo post-flight evaluation, with particular attention given to its engines following the recent test. These engines will likely receive upgrades to improve navigation, deceleration, and safe landing capabilities. For the next flight, B13 will likely be caught by the Mechazilla Arm, as demonstrated by its predecessor, B12, in order to validate this landing method. Additionally, SpaceX will need to address the warping issues seen with B12’s engines, an essential step to making these engines reusable.
