Goodbye to the second version .. SpaceX is preparing for a new era of Starsp

SpaceX announced the transfer of the latest version of the Starchip (upper stage) to the launch platform on the “Starbis” site in South Texas, in preparation for the eleventh experimental trip, which will be the last version of the second version before moving to the new generation of the vehicle.

The photos posted on September 17, 2025 showed the bright metal structure of the vehicle with a height of approximately 52 meters, making its way slowly during the night to the launch platform, where the huge tower arms known as “chopsticks” awaited to secure it during the tests.
According to the “Space” website, the vehicle will undergo its new site to a series of basic experiments, including the Wet Dress Rehearsals and engines tests, as part of the preparatory stage of the launch, and these procedures are part of a strict program aimed at ensuring the readiness of Starsp and its giant supporting the SUPER Heavy to fly.
Until now, no official date for the launch of the 11th Flight, but it comes after the success of the 10th trip that took place on August 26, 2025 and has proven the efficiency of the system, and with the conclusion of this task, the second version will be referred to retirement, to give way to the third version, which is a slightly longer version that was designed depending on the lessons learned from previous experiences. As a conclusion and inauguration at the same time, it summarizes what has been achieved so far and opens the way for what is coming. What does that mean?
Starchib appears on the launch platform is not just a technical scene, but rather a strong indication that SpaceX is approaching a new major test that will attract the attention of the space community around the world. With every successful experience, the company approaches more than its greatest goal: using Starsp as a means of transporting humans and loads to the moon, Mars, and perhaps beyond that.
