SpaceX Ready for Starship flight 13 Launch in Weeks after 6 Engine test fire x100 Faster Than Ever!
SpaceX just did something extraordinary with Ship 40.
All six Raptor engines roared to life together — a full 60 seconds of sustained fire at Massey's test site. And that means they've just cleared one of the most critical milestones before rolling the ship to the launch pad 2.
And that’s not all. Some very deliberate activity has been happening around the area lately. Everything is pointing toward one thing: Starship Flight 13 is getting dangerously close.
But the real question is… when?
To answer that, we need to look at what Ship 40 actually went through at Massey’s.

The ship first rolled out to Massey's on June 23rd, and by June 24th propellant loading had already begun — matching the exact levels used during Ship 39's test campaign before Flight 12. Everything pointed toward a routine six-engine static fire. Then something changed. Fueling stopped early. The oxygen tank only filled to about two-thirds, and barely any methane was loaded. That's not how you prepare a full-stack ignition.
On June 25th, only one engine fired. Engine 142 — a central Raptor 3 sea-level engine — burned for about 15 seconds while the other five stayed completely silent. Ship 40 rolled back to Mega Bay 2 the following day.

Now here's the thing. If the problem had been structural — a tank fault, an airframe issue — SpaceX wouldn't have fired anything at all. Engine 142 running clean was its own kind of data. It told engineers the core vehicle was healthy. Whatever the issue was, it was narrow. Contained. Fixable. And even in that constrained test, the partial tank fill and header tank ignition sequence closely mirrored an in-space burn — the exact reignition profile Starship needs to execute during re-entry. SpaceX found a way to collect meaningful data even from an incomplete attempt.
