SpaceX Targets Orbital Flight for Starship Next Week

SpaceX has announced that its Starship rocket is ready for an orbital launch attempt, with the mission scheduled for next week. The orbital flight would represent a major milestone in the development of the world's largest and most powerful rocket. Starship has previously completed several high-altitude test flights, but an orbital attempt would push the vehicle significantly further. A successful mission would validate key technologies needed for SpaceX's long-term goals, including missions to the Moon and Mars.
