SpaceX is planning to launch Starship for a ninth time today after unsuccessful test results from its first two Starship missions. Elon Musk’s space company faced a setback after back-to-back flight tests ended in explosions.
The company aims to launch an uncrewed Mars mission as early as next year. According to Musk, the Starship could carry a Tesla robot, Optimus, to Mars by 2026. The rocket may also support US military cargo delivery via space in the future.
