Enlarge / SpaceX's Starship vehicle undergoes a wet dress rehearsal prior to its fourth launch attempt. (credit: SpaceX) SpaceX is targeting June 5 for the next flight of its massive Starship rocket, the company said Friday. The highly anticipated test flight— the fourth in a program to bring Starship to operational readiness and make progress toward its eventual reuse—will seek to demonstrate the ability of the Super Heavy first stage to make a soft landing in the Gulf of Mexico and for the Starship upper stage to make a controlled reentry through Earth's atmosphere before it falls into the Indian Ocean. This mission will carry no payloads as SpaceX seeks additional flight data about the performance of the complex Starship vehicle.
