Watch Live as SpaceX’s Starship Attempts to Reach Orbit for the First Time
SpaceX is gearing up for Starship’s 14th test flight, and it should be one for the history books. Up until this point, all Starship test missions have been suborbital, but this time, the megarocket will attempt to enter orbit and circle the planet about six times over the course of an epic 10-hour flight. After completing a wet dress rehearsal on Thursday, Starship is standing proud on the launch pad at Starbase and could lift off as early as this coming Monday.
