SpaceX Unexpectedly Rolls Back S40 after SINGLE Engine Test, NO Full engines... Why
SpaceX unexpectedly rolled back Ship 40 after completing its successful single-engine static fire test, raising new questions about the timeline for Starship Flight 13. Why did SpaceX skip the expected six-engine static fire, and what does this surprising decision mean for Starship's next launch campaign?
In today's episode, we break down everything behind Ship 40's successful single-engine static fire, why SpaceX chose to return S40 to Mega Bay 2 instead of proceeding directly to a full six-engine static fire, and what engineers are likely inspecting before the next major milestone. We also examine how this decision could affect the schedule for Flight 13, the progress of Booster 20, and why early July is now shaping up as a critical period for Starship testing.
We'll also discuss the latest developments at Starbase as Ship 41 appears ready to begin its own testing campaign. With multiple Starships moving through production and testing simultaneously, SpaceX continues demonstrating the rapid, assembly-line development strategy that has become a defining feature of the Starship program. Could Ship 40's rollback actually be part of a larger plan to improve reliability before Flight 13?

Beyond SpaceX, we take a closer look at a newly released NASA Inspector General report revealing that nearly $6 billion was spent on canceled Artemis hardware. We'll explain what happened to major projects including the Exploration Upper Stage, Mobile Launcher 2, the Universal Stage Adapter, and the Gateway HALO module, why costs escalated so dramatically, and what NASA's revised Artemis strategy could mean for future Moon missions.
Finally, we wrap up with a fascinating story from the International Space Station, where NASA delivered an official FIFA World Cup 2026 match ball—not simply for publicity, but to highlight scientific research into ball dynamics, spin, and weight distribution conducted in microgravity. It's another example of how space research continues to produce valuable insights with practical applications here on Earth.

What do you think? Was rolling back Ship 40 the right decision? Will the six-engine static fire happen in early July, and can Flight 13 still launch before the end of the month? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
