US EditionSpaceX Scrubs Starship Flight 10 Over Ground LOX Leak
- SpaceX is preparing to launch the 400-foot-tall Starship megarocket from its South Texas facilities soon for a critical uncrewed test flight known as Flight 10.
- This launch follows multiple recent setbacks including explosions and premature mission endings, alongside FAA approvals in May and last week allowing increased flight frequency.
- SpaceX will not attempt the dramatic Super Heavy booster 'chopsticks' landing but will test a controlled splashdown off Texas and push the booster to its limits for performance data.
- Former NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman described the outcome of SpaceX's Starship project as highly uncertain and characterized the company’s ambitious pursuit of the spacecraft as a significant and risky commitment.
- Despite recent failures, SpaceX embraces rapid iterative development, plans scaled-up Starship versions over twice as powerful as Apollo rockets, and supports US plans for lunar and Mars missions in 2026–2027.
