SpaceX will conduct the sixth flight test of Starship, the largest rocket ever built, as soon as November 18 following the smooth success of the previous mission less than a month ago. In a post on its website, SpaceX says it will attempt to re-create these same successes on November 18, including catching the booster at the launch site and an accurate Starship splashdown.
