What the reports sayEach newsroom’s own summary of its report, from its feed
It will then circle the planet 14 times, before returning 22 hours later and -- SpaceX hopes -- descending safely into the chopstick arms.
SpaceX plans to launch its Starship megarocket on an unprecedented double-catch mission today (Nov. 13), and you can watch the action live.
Elon Musk's SpaceX was poised Friday to carry out its latest test of the world's biggest and most powerful rocket, the Starship, with plans for a groundbreaking "catch" of the spaceship following a day in orbit.
"You can simplify it as a big tank feeding engines."
Elon Musk’s company will try to grab both parts of the rocket for the first time.
SpaceX sent its Starship on a flight that was meant to feature a first-ever retrieval of both rocket stages, but a launch-pad catch of the first-stage booster had to be canceled due to safety concerns.
