SpaceX Wants Its Own Gas Pipeline to Feed All the Starships

Elon Musk's rocket company wants to build its own gas pipeline as it pushes to control every step of Starship's fuel supply.

Gizmodo
#Starship uses about 2.4 million liters of liquid #methane per launch, currently delivered by hundreds of tanker trucks. A 13-km natural gas pipeline called #Starpipe is ‌expected to be in service by January 26 https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/spacex-plans-build-starpipe-natural-gas-pipeline-fuel-starship-rockets-2026-06-25/
🚀 Préparation du 13e vol du #Starship : un essai de mise à feu statique d'un seul moteur a été effectué par le Ship 40, dans le cadre de la phase d'essais pré-vol

Ein erstes einzelnes Raptor-Triebwerk wurde nun an Ship 40 mit etwa 10 Sekunden Zündung getestet.

Zur Zeit ist Juli für einen nächsten Starship Testflug realistisch.

Es sind die Oberstufe S40 und die Unterstufe B20 für diesen 13. Testflug des Starship Systems vorgesehen. Es wäre der zweite Testflug der Version 3.

Houston - we gotta launch pad problem - OR - could you please move your rocket to the side of the pad - we got a priority flight waiting behind you!

NASA Office of the Inspector General is reporting that Kennedy Space Center isn’t ready to support increased super-heavy launch cadence needed for the Artemis - humans to the moon - program.

SpaceX must launch at least 15 Starships before Artemis Human Landing Systems (HLS) can take astronauts to the Moon - many of these flights are required to deliver propellant into low Earth orbit to re-fuel space craft for the flight to the moon.

The FAA approved Starship launches from LC-39A, the pad built to support NASA’s Apollo program, SpaceX is in the process of expanding LC-39A to support Starship. gizmodo.com/nasas-moon-plan-depends-on-15-starship-launches-theres-just-one-problem-2000776200 #Space #Artemis #NASA #SpaceX #SpaceCraft #Launch #SpaceFlight #SpaceLaunch #LaunchPad #KSC #LC39A #StarShip
