CRAZY! SpaceX already preparing for Starship Flight 8 shocked NASA & Blue Origin...
As the clock ticks down to the end of 2024, SpaceX is not only gearing up for Starship Flight 7 but is already preparing for Starship Flight 8 shortly thereafter.
This serves as a stark contrast—and perhaps a slap in the face—for Blue Origin, whose rockets have yet to make any significant progress.
Let’s find out on today’s episode of Alpha Tech:
As we know, the FAA recently issued a launch license for Starship Flight 7. But that’s not all—the FAA also shared a list of 'test-induced damage exceptions' that will not require a mishap investigation should they occur during Flight 7.

This flexibility could enable SpaceX to launch Starship Flight 8 shortly after Flight 7, provided everything goes smoothly. If SpaceX launches Flight 7 around mid-January, Flight 8 could potentially take place as early as mid-February—or even the beginning of the month. Exciting, right? Comment 'F8' if you support this! Who knows, SpaceX executives might even see these positive comments from space enthusiasts like us.

The company is already preparing for Starship Flight 8, and it’s safe to assume that a quick turnaround for the launch is part of SpaceX’s plan. Recently, the company moved Super Heavy Booster 15—one of Flight 8's key components—out of the bay to begin testing at Massey. This testing, likely involving cryogenic stress tests, ensures the structural integrity of the booster under harsh fueling conditions. At SpaceX’s current pace, this test is probably happening even as this video reaches you.
Although this is just the first open-air test for Starship Flight 8 post-stacking, it clearly showcases SpaceX’s organizational prowess and efficiency. The company has streamlined its production and testing processes to prioritize speed and precision. In contrast, this brings us to the status of Blue Origin and its New Glenn rocket.
