The Biggest Starship Launch Yet Happens in Hours - Flight 12 READY!

Starship Flight 12 is now entering its final countdown after months of intensive vehicle testing, engine validation, launch pad upgrades, and repeated wet dress rehearsals aimed at preparing the next-generation Block 3 Starship architecture for flight. The mission will mark the first integrated launch of the redesigned Block 3 vehicles from the new Pad 2 launch complex, making Flight 12 one of the most important and high-risk Starship test flights SpaceX has attempted so far. Meanwhile, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft has completed a high-speed Mars gravity assist that could reveal something scientists have never directly studied before
