BAD NEWS! SpaceX Found Problem on Starship S37, require Testing Again. Here's What Happened...
This isn’t good. Ground tests for Starship S37 are done, but unusual activity at Pad-1 suggests possible issues. Could another test be coming—and will it delay the launch?
Meanwhile, new concerns are emerging about Moon Base plans due to moonquakes. But there’s also good news ahead, including updates on Starship’s Florida expansion and the Europa Clipper mission.
Let’s dive in on today’s episode of Great SpaceX.
BAD NEWS! SpaceX Found Problem on Starship S37, require Testing Again. Here's What Happened...
The recent tests involving Starship S37 have sparked a wave of excitement, as they mark the long-awaited return of Starship activity following the most recent launch incident. These tests not only signal progress but also renew public attention on the next phase of development. However, alongside this excitement, several unexpected developments are now raising questions about what might happen next.
Currently, S37 has been moved back into Mega Bay 2, which usually signals that major testing has concluded. In parallel, the OLM (Orbital Launch Mount) test system that was used during the S37 static fires is being dismantled. The test stand itself is now being relocated to the Sanchez Site, where it will be kept in storage for potential future use as a backup system.
What is more surprising, however, is that new systems are not the only ones being moved. Some unusual activity has recently been spotted at Pad-1.

Most notably, 15 out of the 20 booster hold-down clamps have been removed from the OLM. These clamp arms are critical components designed to secure the Super Heavy booster during pre-launch operations. According to standard procedure, after a ship test is completed, the pad is usually refurbished in preparation for the next mission. In this case, that would involve bringing Booster 16 to the pad for integration.
However, with the removal of most of the clamp arms, Booster 16 cannot be placed on the launch mount unless those systems are restored or replaced. That suggests a disruption in the expected flow of operations, and it raises a critical question: why would SpaceX remove such essential hardware at this particular stage?
