Overview

• SpaceX is aiming to conduct the third test flight of its Starship rocket in February, pending approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.
• The previous two test flights did not go as planned, with both ending in explosions, but were still considered successful by SpaceX.
• The main goal of the upcoming test flight is to improve the rocket's performance and achieve orbit.
• SpaceX is also working on a propellant transfer system for Starship, which will be necessary for future missions to the moon and Mars.
• NASA's Artemis 3 mission, which plans to use parts of Starship to transport astronauts to the moon, has been delayed to 2026.
