Starship is scheduled to launch from Starbase on Monday (Jan. 13) at 5:00 p.m. EST (2200 GMT). It will be the seventh test flight for the giant rocket, which SpaceX is developing to help humanity settle Mars and achieve a variety of other exploration feats.
SpaceX is also flying rudimentary catch fittings on Starship to test their thermal performance on reentry. The ship will fly a more demanding trajectory during descent to probe the structural limits of the redesigned flaps at the point of maximum entry dynamic pressure, according to SpaceX.
SpaceX's Starship will fly for the seventh time ever early next week, if all goes according to plan. SpaceX announced today (Jan. 8) that it's targeting Monday (Jan. 13) for Flight 7 of Starship, the 400-foot-tall (122 meters), fully reusable megarocket designed to help humanity settle the moon and Mars.

Musk vs Bezos: Upcoming Blue Origin New Glenn and SpaceX Starship launch dates
Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin to Debut New Rocket in SpaceX Challenge
After more than a decade of development, hype and pent-up demand, Jeff Bezos’ aerospace venture Blue Origin will at long last attempt to put a rocket into orbit.
SpaceX has quickly become something of a taxi service for space travel, allowing private companies and governments alike to affordably send satellites into orbit for research and commercial purposes. The frequent launches have reportedly become something of a nightmare for those who live near the launch sites, however.
On Friday, a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink satellites is set to take off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
On the last day of 2024, Eutelsat's OneWeb satellite broadband service that covers much of Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas was hit with a 48-hour power outage — and, oddly enough, it's because of the leap year.

Elon Musk is venturing into the world of video games, claiming to be among the top players in popular titles such as Path of Exile 2. However, some suggest he may be leveraging assistance to achieve these high rankings.
The fourth Space Coast rocket launch of 2025 is set for this morning. SpaceX has confirmed they are targeting launch of the Starlink 12-12 mission at 11:21 a.m. Friday. The liftoff will be from Space Launch Complex 40.
