Starship Ship 43 has arrived to Massey's for its cryo testing campaign, 4 days after its potential flight 16 partner Booster 23 returned from its cryo campaign.
Could this be the first Ship to fly out of the Kennedy Space Center?

While it waits for the booster, Starbase Pad 2 is keeping busy testing ahead of the potential catch attempt/s on Flight 15, with teams running a full deluge test simulating launch conditions, with a second test around 8 minutes later timed with when the booster will return for a catch.

It may be hot in South Texas but Starship Booster 23 was nice as frosty over at Massey's, as it underwent an extended cryo test over the course of 12 hours yesterday, as part of its pre-launch testing campaign.

Another milestone day for the Starbase Gigabay project as one of the bridge cranes was lifted for installation. Thanks to @NASASpaceflight's Gage Telesz (@RoughRidersShow) for getting us the close up views.

The road to Massey's continues to be a busy one, as Starship Booster 23 rolled overnight, ahead of its cryo testing campaign. If the current schedule holds, could this be the lucky booster to be the first to launch from the pad at Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida?

Starship Ship 40 is vertical again!
After a long path of many firsts, Ship 40 was hooked up to the Mega Bay 2 bridge cranes and lifted into a vertical position inside the bay, finally returning to where its journey started all the way back on July 23rd.

While we wait for Starship Ship 40's translation to vertical to complete, a look back at the ship reversing into position outside Mega Bay 2 overnight

After a journey that took Starship Ship 40 to space and back, and on a approximately 20,000 km (about 12,700 miles) sail half way around the world, teams rolled it back to the Starbase Production Site from the Port of Brownsville overnight, bringing Ship 40's long road back home to an end.

Job is finished! Ship 40 is securely on dry land in Texas one again, and Forte is getting underway to depart the port of Brownsville!
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.
@NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase
Starship Ship 42 is back at Massey's, having rolled from the Starbase Production Site overnight, this visit should include somecyro testing, as part of the pre-flight testing ahead of the next launch.

Highlights of Starship Ship 40's return home to Starbase aboard the Boskalis' Forte following a trip to Space and sailing half way around the world. The @NASASpaceflight cameras could see the full tour passing by the Launch Site, the Production Site, Massey's before disappearing in the Port of Brownsville.

On this day in 1957, the Soviet Union successfully launched the first-ever human-made object to orbit the Earth.
Sputnik 1 launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and remained operational for 21 days, sending an easy-to-track radio signal.
The spacecraft burned up on January 4, 1958, when it re-entered Earth's atmosphere.

Battle of the Builds #12
Blue Origin has started going vertical again at LC-36. The modified launch tower stacking has begun in hopes of launching by end of year.
Relativity has almost completed stacking the second lightning tower. They also finished painting the water tower white.
Blue Origin continues progress on the Vertical Integration Facility. The PPF construction may be visible soon but possibly not from this location. I'll keep an eye on that.
Honorable mention for Starship 37A since they were the first to achieve stacking goals.

Battle of the Builds #11
Since we were recently in the air I waited a little longer and, wow, the skyline changed even more!
First up is Relativity Space at LC-16. The first lightning tower is almost to max height. I imagine there will be a topper added to the full system.
The Blue Origin Vertical Integration Facility (RIP VRF naming) has filled out another level. It's getting massive!
Soon we may be able to see the PPF building too.
Progress continues at LC-36 where, hopefully, we will see vertical gains again with modular pieces of the tower being readied.
The tower still looms over 37A groundwork. The LR13000 has moved position. Unclear if it is being used for additional tasks or just in place to weather storms.
@NASASpaceflight Cape update youtu.be/Gynbnf4fckw?is=F1vY… for views from the air.
