Starship Flight 10 scheduled but something Bad happened! NASA Nuclear Reactor Coming|Space Weekly #9
SpaceX has confirmed the Flight 10 launch window following a successful engine test. Ship 37 appears set for more testing, while B12 and B16 have been moved—though B16 won’t attempt a catch.
In Florida, infrastructure work continues, and NASA has begun planning a nuclear reactor for the Moon.
Let’s dive into this week’s top stories on Great SpaceX.

Starship Flight 10 now has a launch window—but with Ship 37 still in testing, readiness remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, Booster 12 may soon be retired, closing a key chapter in Starship’s development.
We’re now well into the first half of August, and that puts us right up against Elon Musk’s recent estimate for Starship Flight 10—originally predicted for mid-August. However, up until now, all those estimates have been just that: projections without a firm date or specific launch time. Thankfully, we finally have something more concrete. The official launch window has been narrowed down, thanks to a Local Notice to Mariners (LNM) from the U.S. Coast Guard’s Navigation Center. This advisory outlines Super Heavy activity in the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas coast—directly correlating with SpaceX’s Starbase operations.

According to this notice, Starship Flight 10 is currently scheduled to launch sometime between August 16 and August 22. The available hours remain centered around midday in Texas, which should provide ideal visibility for both stage separations and landings—especially valuable for public and analytical observation. However, this timeline does indicate that the launch window has slipped slightly beyond Elon Musk’s mid-month target, placing Flight 10 firmly in the latter half of August.
But even that window could prove optimistic, depending on the remaining steps for Ship 37. Although the previous round of testing appeared largely successful on the surface—based on visible cues and standard procedures—internal data reportedly revealed an issue with one of the vehicle’s Vacuum engines. That complication led SpaceX to perform a full engine swap, a process that involves extensive verification, recalibration, and eventually a repeat of static fire testing.
