The End of the High Bay & the Rise of Giga Bay | Starbase Update

The High Bay is coming down, the Giga Bay is on the way, and Pad B’s flame trench is filling with concrete—but SpaceX isn’t slowing down one bit. In this week’s Starbase Update, Ryan Caton takes us through major site transformations, vehicle reshuffles, and Elon’s ever-bold claim of weekly Starship launches within a year.

We cover everything from the dismantling of the iconic High Bay to the continued outfitting of Pad B, the rise of new chopstick towers, flame trench fortifications, cryogenic systems, and all the Booster moves inside Mega Bay 1. Plus, we dive into the reality check on cadence—can SpaceX really pull off 7x their current launch rate?
