SpaceX is already bouncing back from the fiasco that it experienced during Starship Booster 18’s initial tests earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just over a week since Booster 18 met its untimely end, SpaceX is now busy stacking Booster 19, and at a very rapid pace, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per Starbase watchers on X, SpaceX rolled out the fourth aft section of Booster 19 to Starbase’s MegaBay this weekend, stacking it to reach 15 rings tall with just a few sections remaining. This marks the fastest booster assembly to date at four sections in five days. This is quite impressive, and it bodes well for SpaceX\u2019s Starship V3 program, which is expected to be a notable step up from the V2 program, which was retired after a flawless Flight 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starship watcher TankWatchers<\/a> noted the tempo on X, stating, “During the night the A4 section of Booster 19 rolled out to the MegaBay. With 4 sections in just 5 days, this is shaping up to be the fastest booster stack ever.\u201d Fellow Starbase watcher TestFlight<\/a> echoed the same sentiments. \u201cBooster 19 is now 15 rings tall, with 3 aft sections remaining!\u201d the space enthusiast wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
