Starship Flight 12 All 39 engines Firing Today on Final Static Fire test...Never ever Done Before!
This is insane! The moment Booster 19 was fully stacked with all 33 Raptor 3 engines, it stopped being just a rocket booster… and turned into a true work of art. It’s simply breathtaking.
But that’s just one of countless spectacular shots captured during one of SpaceX’s biggest milestones yet. For the very first time, they rolled out both Booster and Ship 39 to perform static fire tests on the same day—a full-throttle sprint toward what could be the most exciting mission yet: Starship Flight 12.
So where does everything stand right now?
Let’s dive in.

Engineers and workers down at Starbase are sweating right now, and honestly, we’ve never seen this place this “hot” before.
SpaceX just dropped a fresh update saying, “Starship and Super Heavy move out to continue preflight testing.” Yeah, this is not a flight confirmation, but it still pulled in millions of views.
Why?
Because this is essentially SpaceX saying: both upgraded Version 3 vehicles—Booster 19 and Ship 39—have officially rolled out of the production site. And what makes it even more interesting… is that this is one of those rare moments where both were rolled out on the same day.
So what’s next?
Booster 19 has been moved over to Pad 2, the very launch site where it’s expected to roar to life in the near future. Meanwhile, Ship 39 is heading to Massey’s Site, that legendary Starship testing ground which has just gone through a major upgrade.
But before we go any further, just take a look at Booster 19. Especially the engine section. Seriously, look at it. Doesn’t it feel… different? Cleaner? Sharper?

If someone says it doesn’t look good, they might need to get their eyes checked, because even Elon Musk couldn’t help but admire it. He literally said, “Look at those beautiful Raptor 3 engines!”
And it’s not just him. Even NASA admin Jared Isaacnab gave it props, saying, “Looking really clean and impressive.”
And they are absolutely right.
Compared to the older Super Heavy boosters that still used Raptor 1 and Raptor 2, this is on a completely different level. Gone are the messy tangles of pipes and cables that used to sprawl everywhere like roots. What you see now is a sleek, dark, unified structure. It looks solid. It looks powerful. And it gives you a real sense of the insane force it’s about to unleash during a static fire.
And while we’re here, let’s talk a bit more about Booster 19 itself.
It was rolled out to Pad 2 on April 11, and not long after that, the giant arms, what people like to call “Mechazilla,” locked onto it and lifted this 200 ton beast into place, setting it right onto the Orbital Launch Mount. Down there, 20 massive clamps grip tightly onto the skirt of the Super Heavy booster, holding it steady and perfectly aligned, just waiting for the static fire.
Based on the road closure schedule published on the Starbase site, the primary window is set for April 13, 2026, from 8 AM to 8 PM Central Time. That’s the official beach and Highway 4 closure window under the current Beach Access Status. Backup dates are April 14 and 15, with the exact same time frame.
