WASHINGTON, D.C. — Elon Musk's SpaceX announced Friday that its Starship megarocket is scheduled to blast off on a new test flight next weekend after recent attempts have ended in fiery explosions.The biggest and most powerful launch vehicle in history is planned to return Americans to the Moon — and is central to the dreams of colonizing Mars envisioned by Musk, the world's richest person.
The rocket's propulsion system was also supposed to execute a planned splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico — but it disintegrated before reaching the water.Standing 403 feet tall, the black-and-white behemoth is designed to eventually be fully reusable and launch at relatively low cost.SpaceX has been betting that its 'fail fast, learn fast' ethos — which helped it dominate commercial spaceflight — will once again pay off.
