SpaceX pins hopes on Starship's first orbital test launch
SpaceX is preparing Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, for its first orbital test launch, a flight the company has described as critical to its future plans for deep space missions. A successful test would mark a major step toward reusable heavy-lift spaceflight, though first launches of new rockets often end in failure or are cut short.
Why now: Starship's first orbital attempt is a landmark moment for SpaceX and the space industry, drawing wide attention to whether the huge rocket can fly.
