SpaceX is ready for another integrated test flight Tuesday to its Starship launch vehicle, which is a fully recyclable craft designed with the intention of a day that carries people and cargo through the room. On May 27 -Test Flight is Starship’s ninth launch, although some parts of the craft have exploded and been rebuilt since its first launch in April 2023. This test flight will be Starship’s third launch in 2025.
The latest star scam launches have ended in disaster twice as the top ship part of the launch vehicle exploded within the Earth’s atmosphere during the seventh and eighth test flights. The recyclable booster rocket was successfully captured by SpaceX during these launches.
SpaceX revealed in a written statement of mission that the company does not plan to catch the booster during Tuesday’s ninth test flight.
The booster carries instruments to measure data that can help SpaceX potentially improve the performance and reliability of future iterations of the launch vehicle, and it will spray into the Mexico Golf after it is discarded by the rest of the Starship craft.

After the test flight, Musk is scheduled to give an update on the company’s next step. This will be the first time that the billed billionaire has publicly spoken on behalf of the company during a Starship launch window since the third flight of the vehicle in March 2024.
Musk is facing a mounting pressure to return to its business commitments after a stint as one of President Donald Trump’s senior advisers for the Department of Government Efficiency, who has made disputed allegations of saving billions of dollars throughout the federal government, but has raised concerns for privacy among many US citizens.
In a recent call with Tesla Investors, Musk promised to go back from DOGE to focus on its businesses. Tesla shopping trends have been reversed as potential buyers came to link the vehicles to Musk’s policy.
Trump’s latest budget proposal puts certain NASA projects on the cutting block – including those involving the use of Starship for Moon Examination.
