Can SpaceX Hit Higher Cadence in 2026? Starship Version 3 Preview | Starship Updates

As Starbase rings in 2026, SpaceX is gearing up for Starship’s next chapter. The Version-3 booster and ship for Flight 12 are being prepared after five flights in 2025, while more vehicles continue production deep inside the Starfactory.

Meanwhile on the Space Coast, the barge Marmac 31 has arrived to support the first transport of Starship hardware from Texas to Florida, marking a major milestone on the road to launching out of the LC-39A facility. At Starbase and in Florida, the twin Gigabay buildings are also rising to new levels, setting the stage for far greater operations beyond 2026.

In this episode we dive into:
- Florida trial runs for the Starship transport barge
- The state of Ship 39 and potential heat-shield rework
- Booster 19 stacked in record time
- Restricted activity and upgrades at McGregor
- Progress on launch Pad 1 and Pad 2
- SpaceX’s new Air Separation Unit
