Elon Musk Directly INSPECTED Starship S40 & B20 Before Launch! Timeline Is Beyond what Expected
In just a few hours, we're going to witness a new record being set. SpaceX will launch the world's largest rocket for the second time in 2026.
This launch comes just 2 months after the last one, that's why Starship Flight 13 isn't just an ordinary launch — it's truly different, packed with upgrades and changes, and it will be decisive for the success of the newest, most advanced generation of Starship ever built.
So what exactly is SpaceX going to do on this decisive flight? It's honestly going to blow your mind!
Let's break it all down.
Countdown To Liftoff
Elon Musk Directly INSPECTED Starship S40 & B20 Before Launch! Timeline Is Beyond what Expected
For weeks, one single agency held SpaceX's entire timeline hostage — the FAA. And on July 13th, it finally happened. The investigation into the Flight 12 anomaly was officially closed, just three days before the NET launch date of July 16th. No injuries. No property damage. SpaceX submitted four corrective actions — hardware and software fixes across both Booster 20 and — the FAA signed off, and just like that... green light.
So right now, nothing's standing in the way anymore. The only question left is what actually happens the moment that countdown hits zero — and what really sets Flight 13 apart from every launch before it.
Well, you won't have to wait long to find out.
SpaceX just dropped its full mission timeline for this flight, and honestly, they moved fast — almost as fast as it'll take you to hit that subscribe button. So don't miss it.

About 50 minutes before liftoff, the Flight Director clears propellant loading. Liquid oxygen and liquid methane start flowing into both stages — and this is when Starship seems to wake up.
White clouds billow around the vehicle, the plumbing, the base of the launch tower. That's not smoke. Most of it is atmospheric moisture condensing against metal surfaces so cold they're below freezing. Liquid oxygen sits at around minus 183°C. Liquid methane isn't far behind. They have to be that cold to shrink down to a manageable volume — in gas form, the tanks would need to be absurdly large.
At T-minus 21 minutes and 30 seconds, something important happens that most livestream hosts barely mention: engine chill. Super-cold propellant circulates through the plumbing and turbopumps of each Raptor, gradually bringing them down to operating temperature before ignition. Skip this step, and the sudden thermal shock of hundreds of kilograms of cryogenic propellant slamming through the system every second could cause serious stress on the engine hardware. It's one of those things that sounds routine — until it isn't, and the countdown ends before the rocket ever leaves the ground.
