SpaceX is preparing for the launch of Starship, set to be the most powerful rocket ever built, on its sixth test flight from South Texas. A 30-minute launch window opens at 5 p.m. ET. During this mission, the company will once again attempt capturing the Super Heavy rocket booster, which stands at 20 stories tall, in mid-air back at the launch site. SpaceX's long-term vision includes using Starship to transport people to the moon and Mars, with the vehicle also slated for NASA’s lunar landings potentially by 2026.
