SpaceX aims to put Starship in orbit for the first time

SpaceX's Starship rocket is scheduled to attempt its first entry into Earth's orbit on Monday, marking a major milestone three years after its initial test flight. The launch aims to advance the development of the massive launch vehicle.

The Starship system is specifically designed for future space exploration missions targeting the Moon and Mars. This upcoming orbital attempt follows closely on the heels of the company's high-profile initial public offering in June.
