It’s a momentous occasion for SpaceX as both Starship and the Super Heavy booster successfully splashed down back on Earth.

The semireusable space capsule has a new launch target after yet another issue postponed its first crewed flight to Wednesday at the earliest.

Starliner crews are contending with what NASA describes as a ‘design vulnerability’ that could prevent the spacecraft from performing a deorbit burn.

The postponement marks the fifth delay to the long-awaited mission, which would be the first time humans have flown on Starliner.

The spacecraft’s inaugural crewed flight test will now occur no earlier than 4:43 p.m. EDT on Tuesday after teams discover a new issue.

Musk’s timeline would place Starship’s fourth orbital test flight sometime in June, but SpaceX will need to wait for the FAA to wrap up its investigation.

The company proposes installing infrastructure that would support as many as 44 Starship launches annually but will first need to pass an environmental assessment.

SpaceX reveals its first-generation extravehicular activity (EVA) spacesuits, designed to be worn in the vacuum of space as well as the confines of a spacecraft.

According to the company’s website, customers can book missions to Earth orbit as early as this year, with flights to the International Space Station following in 2025.

NASA intends to deploy the reusable capsule for crew rotation missions to the International Space Station, but the program has been marred by delays.
