SpaceX is preparing for the eighth test flight of its Starship spacecraft, scheduled for Monday. This flight serves as a redo of January's flight that ended with the upper-stage disintegration over the Caribbean. During this upcoming launch, aiming for a less destructive outcome, the Starship rocket system, the largest ever constructed, is set to launch from Starbase in South Texas. While planned for a one-hour window starting at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time, the launch faces potential weather challenges due to gusty winds.
