Mark Kretschmann(@mark_k):Starship's first orbital flight is getting close! @SpaceX has rolled Super Heavy out to the launch pad, with Flight 14 targeted for September 28. The plan is ambitious: deploy 26 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites, complete roughly six orbits of Earth, then return for a Pacific splashdown about 10 hours after launch. I'm really excited for this one. Seeing Starship reach orbit and deliver working satellites would be a huge milestone after years of development and testing. Can't wait to watch it fly!
