SpaceX is set to attempt the launch of its updated Starship rocket, known as Version 3, on Friday evening from its Starbase facility in southern Texas, near Brownsville. This marks the 12th test flight of the Starship program and introduces significant modifications aimed at enhancing the vehicle's reliability and performance. Following a last-minute issue with the launch tower that halted a previous attempt, SpaceX is optimistic about the new launch window, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Eastern time. If necessary, the countdown could be extended to 8 p.m. due to weather or technical difficulties. With an 85 percent chance of favorable weather, the launch is crucial not only for SpaceX's ambitions to go public with an initial public offering next month but also for NASA, which intends to use the Starship as a lunar lander for missions to the moon in the coming years. SpaceX will provide live streaming of the event on its website, beginning approximately 45 minutes before liftoff. Should the launch be postponed again, the next opportunity will be available on Tuesday following the Memorial Day weekend.
