SpaceX Starship Nails 13th Flight and Eyes Tower Catch for Flight 14
Ars Technica·Sunday, 26 July 2026
SpaceX's Starship completed its 13th test flight successfully, and the company is now planning to attempt catching the rocket back at the launch tower on its next flight. The tower catch is the same dramatic manoeuvre SpaceX pulled off in earlier flights. No date for flight 14 has been announced.
Why It Matters
Starship is the rocket meant to carry humans back to the Moon and eventually to Mars. Each successful flight brings that timeline closer to reality.
