SpaceX Starship Is Running Out Of Time | SpaceX's Backup Plan Is..... Absurdly Genius
SpaceX’s prized test site, Massey, looked like a battlefield. Not a single ship stood at the launch pad. Not a single engine fired. Just twisted pipes, charred metal, and silence. Ship Thirty-Six had just turned into a fireball. And suddenly, the biggest rocket program in the world was… stuck.
But SpaceX doesn’t stay stuck for long.
Because while the rest of the world thought they'd go quiet, Elon’s team was already sketching new plans on whiteboards. If Massey couldn’t run ship static fires, they’d have to get creative. And they did. What they came up with? It might just be the most insane workaround Starbase has ever seen.
They’re probably preparing to static fire a Starship directly from the orbital launch mount.
