SpaceX targeting Thursday for second launch of the world's largest rocket

SpaceX is targeting Thursday, July 23 for Flight 13 of Starship V3, which will attempt its second launch after a July 16 scrub caused by four engine ignition failures. The test will deploy 20 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites and validate hardware fixes to the booster startup sequence and engine reliability made after Flight 12's FAA-classified mishap.
