The company is planning to launch Starship, the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built, for the eighth time on Friday (Feb. 28), Elon Musk said via X yesterday (Feb. 23).
The 403.5-foot-tall (123 meters) fully reusable vehicle will lift off from Starbase, SpaceX's launch and manufacturing facility in South Texas. The company has not yet announced a target launch time, but you'll almost certainly be able to watch it live whenever it happens; SpaceX has livestreamed all seven of Starship's flights to date.
The most recent flight took place on Jan. 16. That mission was a partial success; SpaceX successfully caught Starship's giant first-stage booster, known as Super Heavy, with the "chopstick" arms of the Starbase launch tower as planned.
