"As per Starbase watchers on X, SpaceX rolled out the fourth aft section of Booster 19 to Starbase's MegaBay this weekend, stacking it to reach 15 rings tall with just a few sections remaining. This marks the fastest booster assembly to date at four sections in five days. This is quite impressive, and it bodes well for SpaceX's Starship V3 program, which is expected to be a notable step up from the V2 program, which was retired after a flawless Flight 11."
"Starship watcher TankWatchers noted the tempo on X, stating, "During the night the A4 section of Booster 19 rolled out to the MegaBay. With 4 sections in just 5 days, this is shaping up to be the fastest booster stack ever." Fellow Starbase watcher TestFlight echoed the same sentiments. "Booster 19 is now 15 rings tall, with 3 aft sections remaining!" the space enthusiast wrote."
SpaceX began rapid stacking of Starship Booster 19 at Starbase, rolling out the fourth aft section to the MegaBay and reaching 15 rings tall with only a few sections remaining. The assembly progressed at four sections in five days, the fastest booster stack to date. The Starship V3 program aims to follow the retired V2 program, with expectations of notable improvements. Booster 18 suffered a major anomaly during gas system pressure testing at the Massey facility without propellant, engines, or injuries, prompting heightened attention. Starbase observers and space enthusiasts noted and celebrated the accelerated stacking tempo.
