Ten days after its successful 10-kilometer (6.2-mile) hop and subsequent landing at SpaceX's launch facility in Starbase, Texas, Starship Serial No. 15 (SN15) is back on its Pad B launch pedestal...ready for a re-flight above the Gulf Coast! This amazing photo comes courtesy of CNunezIMAGES...who also has a Patreon page that you can support here. SpaceX itself has recently revealed details about the first orbital test flight of Starship that it hopes to conduct sometime this year. However, it remains to be seen how soon the Federal Aviation Administration and Federal Communications Commission grant approval to fly this historic spaceflight demonstration. Stay tuned.
