SpaceX Just Revealed New Starship Changes Upgrade Somehow Shocked Blue Origin & NASA
As SpaceX is gradually moving towards launching the final prototypes of the Starship V1 version of the rocket, the curiosity of most space enthusiasts is now focused on the Starship V2 version — an upgraded version promising design changes that will optimize many functions for future launches.
Kicking off this new version is Starship 33, which has been quite busy with activities in the Mega Bay. Ship S33 marks a significant transition in the Starship program. Initially, it was intended to be the final second-stage prototype of the V1 version, but it was later converted to the new V2 version. This resulted in a unique situation where S33 has or will have, two versions of most of its parts — a V1 version and a V2 version.

The assembly of S33 began on July 13, 2024, when the V2 payload bay was brought out for stacking. Notably, at this time, the bay did not have a door. The next day, the V2 nose section was brought out and stacked on top of the payload bay.
On July 22, after being moved into the High Bay, the new payload bay door was installed. Two days later, the entire stacked payload bay and nose section were moved to the 'pez dispenser' installation stand in Mega Bay 2. This stand had been put in place since July 19.

Work continued until August 24, when the top section of Ship 33 was officially installed onto the tail section that had been moved in earlier that afternoon. It’s fascinating to watch these stacking activities in MB2. They could easily close the doors for this, but it’s great that they keep it open during these times.
So, essentially, Ship 33 was completed on August 24. In total, the assembly process of S33 took 41 days, from the start of stacking the nose section and payload bay in the High Bay on July 14 to completion in Mega Bay 2 on August 24.
