SpaceX boss Elon Musk eventually hopes to use a fleet of Starship rockets to establish a permanent human colony on Mars, with the first human flights expected to take place as early as 2029, according to the tech billionaire. The latest Starship launch will be live streamed on SpaceX’s website, as well as on its official X page.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has set the 11th launch of its Starship megarocket from South Texas for the evening of Oct. 13.

This was arguably SpaceX's most successful Starship test flight to date. The only flight with a similar claim occurred one year ago Monday, when the company caught the rocket's Super Heavy booster back at the launch pad after soaring to the uppermost fringes of the atmosphere.
