SpaceX launches Starship on another test flight, this time with the most advanced Starlinks
JTowering 407 feet (124 metres), Starship soared from the company's base at the southern tip of Texas. NASA monitored the flight, a critical step toward using the Starship as a lunar lander for moon crews.Elon Musk's SpaceX replaced six of the 33 engines on the first-stage booster after they failed to ignite last week, resulting in a last-second launch abort. The previous Starship flight in May also experienced engine trouble, which prevented the booster from making a controlled return.It was the 13th flight of the world's biggest and most powerful rocket, and the second this year of the new version dubbed V3.
