SpaceX readies Starship for first orbital flight attempt
Original: SpaceX prepares to launch Starship on first planned flight into Earth orbit
SpaceX is preparing to launch its Starship rocket on its first planned flight into Earth orbit, a milestone test for the vehicle designed for missions to the Moon and Mars. The uncrewed flight would be the first time Starship flies as a full stack, with the Super Heavy booster and upper stage together. Success would mark a major step for Elon Musk's company and for NASA's lunar plans, which rely on a Starship variant.
Why now: The launch is a high-stakes milestone test of the most powerful rocket ever built, drawing wide attention to its outcome.
