The SpaceX Starship is seen as it stands near the launchpad ahead of its fourth flight test from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas on June 4, 2024. Starship, the world's most powerful rocket, is set for its next test flight on June 5, SpaceX announced on June 4.
The launch window from the company's Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas opens at 7:00 am local time (1200 GMT), pending regulatory approval.
It will be the fourth test for the sleek mega rocket, which is vital to NASA's plans for landing astronauts on the Moon later this decade, and to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's hopes of eventually colonizing Mars. (Photo by CHANDAN KHANNA / AFP)
