Starship moved to the pad at Starbase in advance of sixth flight test

SpaceX is gearing up for the sixth test flight of its Starship mega-rocket, which is now less than a week away.

Elon Musk‘s company has rolled the sixth Starship vehicle’s 165-foot-tall (50-meter-tall) upper stage out to the launch pad at its Starbase site in South Texas for testing ahead of the planned Nov. 18 liftoff.

SpaceX documented the milestone on X, posting three photos of the move on Tuesday (Nov. 12).
