Starship's Last Chance: A Make or Break Test Flight for SpaceX The stakes are high as SpaceX prepares to launch its latest version of the Starship megarocket on a critical test flight Tuesday, with NASA's Artemis mission counting on it to carry astronauts to the moon in two years.
The program has faced numerous setbacks, including uncontrolled re entry and mid flight explosions, which have put pressure on SpaceX to get Starship ready for next year's Artemis III mission.
The company is also preparing for its highly anticipated IPO, which could be one of the largest in history.
