SpaceX is planning to launch the unmanned spacecraft Starship into orbit Thursday morning, the fourth and latest flight test for the 400-foot-long rocket.
SpaceX says a live webcast of the flight test will begin about 30 minutes before liftoff, which will be available to watch on the SpaceX website and SpaceX's account on X, formerly Twitter. Both companies are owned by Elon Musk.
The 120-minute launch window is now targeting a launch time of 8:50 a.m. EDT, according to SpaceX, which will liftoff Starship from Starbase, an industrial complex for Starship rockets located in Boca Chica, Texas.
