Original: SpaceX Starship to attempt first orbital mission with 14th flight
SpaceX is preparing its Starship for a first orbital mission on the vehicle's 14th flight test. The attempt is a key milestone for the program, which has been iterating through rapid test launches from Texas. Interest is high because an orbital run would mark the biggest step yet toward making the massive rocket fully operational for future missions, including NASA's lunar plans.
Why now: A possible first orbital flight of Starship is a major milestone drawing widespread attention.
