Summary
SpaceX is racing toward another Starship launch, with the target date shifting from Thursday to Friday—no official confirmation yet. After engine tweaks following last flight’s hiccups, this 13th test since 2023 will carry 20 Starlink satellites to demo deployment and laser comms, though they’ll burn up on re-entry. The goal? Get Starship routinely launching Starlink satellites into orbit by year’s end—another giant leap for the $15B rocket’s mission.
