SpaceX Prepares for 11th Starship Launch with Booster Test Fires

SpaceX conducted a static test fire of its Super Heavy booster in preparation for the 11th Starship flight, which is expected to occur soon, possibly by the end of the month or early next. The company has been working on improving the rocket's design since its first test in 2023, with recent successful tests and planned future launches, including testing the spacecraft's engines and attempting to land the booster back at the launch site for quicker turnaround. Meanwhile, a previous Starship launch was scrubbed due to ground system issues, with weather conditions currently favorable for the next scheduled test.
