SpaceX just bumped the first Starship V3 launch to Thursday — a 408-foot rocket with Raptor 3 engines and more thrust than any rocket ever built
SpaceX has rescheduled the maiden flight of its Starship Version 3 rocket to Thursday, May 22, 2026, after a contractor died at the company’s Starbase facility in South Texas. The delay puts one of the most significant rocket launches in recent memory on hold while a workplace fatality investigation plays out at the same site
SpaceX conducted a static fire test of a single Starship 26 engine. The test demonstrated "flight-like startup for a Starship deorbit burn," according to SpaceX. Credit: SpaceX | edited by Space.com's
