SpaceX's Starship prepares for highly anticipated orbital flight test.

SpaceX is set to conduct the first orbital flight test of its Starship/SuperHeavy rocket system, with the launch date subject to change. The test flight aims to pave the way for future missions to the Moon and Mars. The rocket will take off from the Orbital Launch Pad in Starbase, Texas, and the objective is for the Starship to successfully reenter the atmosphere and land off the coast of Hawaii. The booster will not be recovered and will crash into the Gulf of Mexico. The launch can be watched via an official livestream or through Everyday Astronaut's livestream.
