SpaceX's Starship Flight Test 12, the debut of the upgraded version 3 Starship and Super Heavy booster with Raptor 3 engines, has advanced through critical preflight milestones at Starbase Pad 2, driving trader optimism for an early May launch window. Elon Musk confirmed on April 16 that vehicles are ready in "a few weeks," following a full-duration static fire of Ship 39 on April 15 and initial cryogenic testing of Booster 19, despite a minor ground issue during a 10-engine run earlier. These successes build on version 3 enhancements for greater thrust and reusability, amid FAA licensing through October. Traders eye the pending 33-engine booster static fire and potential weather delays as key near-term catalysts, with no major competitive pressures from rivals like Blue Origin disrupting the timeline.
