SpaceX is launching Starship into orbit on its boldest test yet, a 22-hour flight that aims to recapture the entire rocket at the Texas pad. Everything is on track for the planned Friday launch, pending approval from federal regulators. Elon Musk’s company will attempt to return the booster six minutes after liftoff, followed the next day by the bullet-shaped spacecraft in what would be a momentous first. Giant mechanical arms will be used to pluck each segment in midair. The spacecraft will deliver 26 Starlink satellites to orbit, then complete 15 laps around Earth before tackling the grand finale.
