SpaceX Prepares for Nov. 18 Starship Launch with Booster Catch Attempt

SpaceX has moved the upper stage of its sixth Starship vehicle to the launch pad at its Starbase site in South Texas, preparing for a test flight scheduled for November 18, 2024. The Starship, which is the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, consists of an upper stage and a Super Heavy booster, both designed for full reusability. The upcoming test will attempt to replicate the successful landing of the Super Heavy booster from the previous flight, while the upper stage will splash down in the Indian Ocean.
