"Starship's Future: SpaceX Prepares for IFT-4 Launch"

SpaceX is preparing for the upcoming IFT-4 launch of Starship Ship 29 and Booster 11, with plans for future versions of the vehicle taking shape. IFT-4 aims to test Ship 29's reentry into the atmosphere and in-space engine restart, while Booster 11 will attempt a return to a "virtual tower" in the Gulf of Mexico. The company is also working on versions 2 and 3 of the Starship system, with upgrades to increase payload capability and performance. Additionally, Starbase infrastructure is being upgraded to support the evolving Starship program, including the construction of a giant factory known as the "Starfactory" and upgrades to the Masseys site.
