SpaceX has reached a pivotal moment in its quest to launch the most powerful rocket in history. After successfully firing up the entire 33-engine Super Heavy V3 booster for the first time, the company is targeting May 15 for its 12th Starship test flight,

The launch window for the 12th flight test of Starship opens at 5:30 pm CT, and, as with previous test flights, the vehicle will be on a suborbital trajectory. The launch, from an entirely new pad, will be the first of SpaceX's third-generation Starship and will validate that there have been no inadvertent regressions.
