SpaceX Starship Flight 6

Join Star Fleet for the first launch (and booster catch) of the very first SpaceX Starship V2, the most powerful rocket in history! It'll be launching no earlier than January 2025 on the Flight 7 mission, which is expected to feature another spectacular mechazilla catch attempt of the Super Heavy booster. Once we have a confirmed launch date, we plan to offer boat trips to view the flight, as well as a special pre-launch cruise. Make sure to join our our Whats App community to stay up to date on the official updates, insider info and Star Fleet plans for the upcoming mission!

Our viewing location at the mouth of the South Bay, approximately 4 miles / 7 km from the launch site with a direct line of sight across the water, provides some of the closest and clearest views of the pad, rocket, liftoff and booster landing available to the public. Note that unlike the location just off the South Padre jetty where most other vessels anchor, this offers a closer and slightly clearer sightline, has calmer, more protected and less busy waters, and doesn't have many other large boats to block our view, nor do we block that of those watching from shore.

LATEST LAUNCH UPDATE: As of Thursday, November 21, SpaceX has completed initial tests on the Ship 33 and Booster 14 vehicles, though plenty more are necessary to fully validate them for flight, along with additional preparations to the vehicles and launch pad, analyzing and incorporating the learnings of the previous flight, and not least receiving final regulatory approval to fly a brand new model vehicle. Therefore, the next launch is not expected until at least January 2025 or later, though stay tuned here for high-level changes and Whats App for the latest updates.

We have a Whats App community that we highly recommend you join, where folks are coordinating carpooling, accommodations, travel tips and more, as well as for updates from and questions to the Star Fleet organizers! It has separate channels for major Star Fleet announcements, Flight 6 updates, launch discussion, Q&A and general chat, so you can subscribe to notifications for only what you're interested in. We highly recommend all passengers join it to get the fastest updates and responses directly from us! Be sure to check our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates on all our activities, as well as announcements of smaller/informal trips, and feel free to reach out over DM if you're interested in a private charter for a specific mission. Thanks!
