From Demolition to Installation: Starship Ramps on Both Coasts | Starbase Update

Pad 1 demolition at Starbase accelerated this week as SpaceX removed major sections of the original launch mount and related hardware—part of a broader plan to rebuild the site with upgraded systems. Meanwhile in Florida, LC-39A hit a huge milestone: rollout and installation of the new Starship launch mount. Over at Pad 2, teams continued final cladding, blast-door installs, BQD fast-retract checks, and staged a new load-test “I Be Proofin’” jig for the hold-down arms. On the vehicle side, Ship 39 advanced stacking in MB2 as the S39.1 aft-end test tank shuffled for upcoming trials, Booster 18 likely reached full stack, and McGregor saw a flurry of long-duration Raptor 3 runs—including the longest yet on Raptor North.

Tell us your timeline: does 39A see its first Starship launch in Spring/Summer 2026—or later?
