SpaceX looks to get its developmental Starship back into space, this time with less explosions, and for the first time flying with a reused Super Heavy booster.
The massive combined rocket and spacecraft is targeting liftoff from the company’s Texas site Starbase during a 60-minute window that opens at 7:30 p.m. EDT (6:30 p.m. CDT).
This marks the third launch attempt this year and ninth overall for the in-development hardware that aims to be the replacement for SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets.
Both attempts in 2025, though, ended with the upper stage Starship spacecraft disintegrating after launch leaving trails of debris visible from South Florida and the Caribbean.
