As I write these words, SpaceX is planning to launch the 12th Starship mission today.
SpaceX's Starship Version 3 is finally about to make its debut with a suborbital launch from Starbase, Texas.
The mission, dubbed Starship Flight 12, is the 12th test flight of SpaceX's integrated Starship-Super Heavy rocket, but the first flight of this new generation of the launch vehicle.
Because of all the changes and upgrades made to both stages of the two-stage rocket, SpaceX will not attempt to catch either the Starship upper stage (Ship 39) or the Super Heavy booster (Booster 19).
There's so much information to absorb, I couldn't summarize it in a brief blog post. Therefore, here's a 15-minute video describing how we got to today's launch, and what the company expects from it.
Here's wishing success to SpaceX, and to the entire team involved in this project.
