Starship Flight 14 is getting closer—but SpaceX may be rethinking one of its biggest plans. Ship 41 completes two major static fires, Pad 2 moves toward Booster 21 testing, the FAA lists a provisional September 15 launch date. Ship 40 reaches Christmas Island with extraordinary close-up damage revealed as SpaceX prepares an unexpected new way to bring the spacecraft back to Starbase. China’s LandSpace achieves a historic first with Zhuque-3’s successful land-based orbital booster recovery—but a fire after touchdown creates a new twist for the reusable rocket program.
