SpaceX has a few tricks up its sleeve for the last Starship flight of the year
On its surface, the flight plan for SpaceX's next Starship flight looks a lot like the last one. The rocket's Super Heavy booster will again splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico just offshore from SpaceX's launch site in South Texas. And Starship itself, the rocket's upper stage, will fly on a suborbital arc before reentering the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean for a water landing northwest of Australia. SpaceX will again test the rocket's satellite deployer and reignite one of the ship's Raptor engines in space to adjust the vehicle's path for reentry. These demonstrations will pave the way for future Starship flights into low-Earth orbit. All of the rocket's ascents to date have, by design, ended before reaching orbital velocity.

NASA Considers Starship as Lunar Taxi, Signalling Fundamental Shift in Moon Programme
NASA is reportedly exploring using SpaceX Starship to ferry Orion to the Moon after Artemis V, signalling a major shift away from Boeing's Space Launch System.
Recent aborted static fire of
