The mini TE was lifted onto the modified Ares-1 ML-1 base. The Blue Origin test area at the former MILA site is taking shape.

Ship 42's visit to Massey's was a short one, returning home overnight to Mega Bay 2 just 30 hours after leaving, undergoing at least one cryo test, as preflight testing continues to prepare for Starship Flight 15, as soon as next month.

BREAKING: The @SpaceX Starship that survived, Ship 40, is currently being rolled off its transport ship.
This marks its return to dry land after launching (& landing in the Indian Ocean) in July.

Friday morning Ship 40 update! The ramp has seemingly been completed onto the deck of Forte and two SPMT's staged to drive onto the ship. Could tonights closure be Ship 40s Homecoming? 👀

Here's a photo that is unlike any other of a rocket launch.
This was the moment the Falcon Heavy rocket flew past the moon- a launch photo that began as a disappointment and I treated like an astrophoto to recover. How it was captured and a link to the print shop in the thread:

s42 of Starship, made it to Masseys Test Site. Thanks to @RoughRidersShow for setting up cams and getting this shot here of some tiles and what looks like unfinished "Crunchwrap" work. Follow along , nsf.live/starbaselive for more on this AND the return for s40 Friday night.

Blast from the past
Raptor 3 78 heading past at McGregor. It appears to have had the shielding seen on newer Raptor 3's retroactively installed on it so is likely being used as a development engine.

A milestone of sorts at Starbase today as the very last piece of black cladding was installed on the Giga Bay.
