SpaceXs Starship program is gearing up for another crucial test flight next week, pending regulatory approval.

This flight will focus on reentry and landing, while also gathering comprehensive flight data to improve future missions.

All signs are pointing to a launch.

To address this, the company has added more control redundancy and upgraded hardware to resist blockages.

Hopefully, the upcoming flight will once again provide us with stunning views of Earth and a glowing Starship.

As always, it will be interesting to see where SpaceX succeeds and where it encounters challenges.

One thing is for sure: it wont be boring.
