SpaceX merging with xAI?!? SpaceX is finally picking up the pace again. After months of relative silence, Starship Flight 12 hardware is now moving toward a critical testing phase. New road closures, upgraded launch pad infrastructure, and fresh activity at Starbase all point to imminent vehicle rollouts. With Elon Musk targeting an early March launch window, SpaceX now faces an extremely tight schedule to complete cryogenic testing, static fires, and full system validation. In this episode of Great SpaceX, we break down what’s really happening behind the scenes. We examine why Booster 19 may head directly to the launch pad instead of following the traditional Masseys test flow, and why that would mark the first full-scale validation of the Booster V3 design and Pad 2’s upgraded propellant systems. This could be the true debut of the V3 era, involving the Orbital Launch Mount, Chopsticks, and the new dual flame trench under the most demanding conditions yet. Starship Flight 12 Tests Begin to Launch in March! SpaceX merging with xAI?!? We also take a close look at Ship 39’s upcoming test campaign, including cryogenic testing and static fires at Masseys, and why recent upgrades to the site matter after earlier setbacks. With Raptor 3 engines expected to ignite in a full 33-engine configuration, Flight 12 represents one of the most technically challenging tests Starship has faced so far. Beyond Starship, attention shifts to Crew-12. NASA has officially moved the mission forward, highlighting the growing urgency aboard the International Space Station after Crew-11’s early medical return. We cover the updated launch timeline, the full international crew lineup, Dragon spacecraft preparations, and why Crew-12’s arrival is critical for restoring normal ISS operations. Starship Flight 12 Tests Begin to Launch in March! SpaceX merging with xAI?!? Finally, we analyze one of the most significant developments surrounding SpaceX in years: a potential merger with xAI. Reports suggest deep integration across rockets, satellites, AI platforms, and future space-based data centers. If confirmed, this move could reshape not only SpaceX’s future, but the broader relationship between artificial intelligence and space infrastructure. From Starship Flight 12 and Raptor 3 to Crew Dragon, ISS operations, and a possible SpaceX–xAI merger, this episode explores why 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for SpaceX and human spaceflight.
