Test Launch

🚀 Starship is the biggest and most powerful rocket on the planet, scheduled for a fourth test flight by SpaceX from Texas Thursday, beginning with a liftoff window that opens a 7 a.m. CDT. Because a “rapidly reliable reusable rocket” amounts to such a huge creation (nearly 400 feet tall), it can be seen for miles if it gets off the launch pad. The test of the megarocket aims for a landing burn and soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico with the Super Heavy booster, plus a controlled entry for Starship.
