SpaceX Set for Starship's 5th Launch This Weekend: Aiming for Super Heavy Catch
SpaceX is gearing up for the fifth test flight of its Starship rocket, potentially launching this weekend, pending FAA approval. The mission aims to demonstrate new capabilities, including an on-target landing in the Indian Ocean and the first catch of the Super Heavy booster using Mechazilla. Following a successful fourth flight, where both rocket and booster were safely retrieved, SpaceX plans to conduct nine launches in 2024. The public is invited to witness the launch, scheduled for Sunday, October 13, with live streaming available. This mission is a crucial step towards SpaceX's goal of making human life multi-planetary.
