Some time next year, #NASA believes SpaceX will be ready to link two #Starships 🚀🚀 in orbit for an ambitious refueling ⛽ demonstration. #SpaceX is planning to build an additional launch tower at #Starbase in #Texas, and at least two Starship pads on #Florida's Space Coast https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/04/nasa-exploration-chief-lays-out-next-steps-for-starship-development/2/

Less than a month ⏱️ since the fifth flight of #SpaceX's #Starship. The upper stage will incorporate an in-flight relight 🔥 of one of the rocket's six engines. A late-afternoon launch window will allow the vehicle to reenter during daylight into the Indian Ocean. https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/11/the-next-starship-launch-may-occur-in-less-than-two-weeks/
The next Starship launch may occur in less than two weeks

Starship will launch during the late afternoon so its descent into Indian Ocean is visible.
