Elon Musk has confirmed that Starship will fly again next month, reiterating SpaceX's aggressive timeline for the first launch of its Starship V3 rocket. Musk shared the update in a brief post on X, writing, "Starship flies again next month." The CEO's post was accompanied by a video of Starship's Super Heavy booster being successfully caught by a launch tower in Starbase, Texas. The timeline is notable.
Circumstances might push the launch back a little, but following a successful static fire in late August, confidence in the rocket is high. That flight followed four consecutive failures (three in flight and one where SpaceX didn't bother to launch anything at all and exploded the vehicle on the ground instead). October's flight will be the final one of the version 2 variant of Starship ahead of version 3, which is due to debut in 2026.
the company's head of the Find product line. He says the Find X9 Pro will be 8.25mm thick while incorporating a battery that's bigger than its predecesso r's by "more than 1,500 mAh". So let's do the math. The Find X8 Pro comes with a 5,910 mAh battery, so that means we should probably expect its successor to pack a 7,500 mAh cell or thereabouts.
