SpaceX to attempt Starship catch on next flight this month

SpaceX plans to launch the 14th test flight of its Starship megarocket before the end of August and attempt a tower catch of the Ship upper stage, Elon Musk said on the company's first quarterly earnings call. The flight will also deploy V3 Starlink satellites into operational orbit for the first time. Musk cited Flight 13's successful heat-shield performance in July as confidence for the attempt, pending regulatory approval.
