SpaceX completes 11th Starship test before debuting upgraded prototype
October 2025 307 views 1MIN 18SECStarship, consisting of the Starship upper stage stacked atop its Super Heavy booster, launched at around 6:20 p.m. CT (2320 GMT) from SpaceX's Starbase facilities. After sending the Starship stage to space, Super Heavy returned for a soft water landing in the Gulf of Mexico, roughly 10 minutes after liftoff. Its last mission, in August, ended a streak of testing failures earlier this year as SpaceX pushed to stress-test features for its total reusability. SpaceX, after Monday's flight, is hoping to start launching a more advanced Starship prototype equipped with features tailored for moon and Mars missions. Starship is scheduled to land NASA astronauts on the moon by 2027. The rocket, many times larger than SpaceX's workhorse Falcon 9, is also key for launching heavier Starlink satellites essential to the company's lucrative mobile broadband goals. It is the centerpiece of Musk's vision to send humans and cargo to Mars.
