Starship Flight 15 Updates
During a speech at a Tesla Owners event yesterday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk gave some updates on Starship Flight 15. As usual he downplayed the engine failures of the previous flight, then stated that Flight 15 will feature a catch attempt of the rocket's upper stage. If this is successful, Flight 16 would then aim to achieve the first ever reflight of a full orbital rocket stack. Musk estimated Flight 15 will take place in mid to late November.
