SpaceX launches eighth test flight of Starship Super Heavy

SpaceX is set to launch its Starship Super Heavy rocket on its eighth test flight from Texas after delays due to technical issues. The mission aims to test key features, including deploying Starlink simulators and relighting an engine in space. The Super Heavy booster will attempt a return-to-launch-site maneuver, aiming to be caught by the launch tower's arms. If unsuccessful, it will splash down in the Gulf of Mexico. This launch follows an investigation into a previous flight's failure and comes with FAA approval. SpaceX has made significant upgrades to the Starship and Super Heavy systems for improved performance.
