The 13th test flight of the Starship handed over the perfect answer SpaceX had been looking forward to: a successful take-off, the two-stage rocket was successfully recovered, and a real payload was launched into space for the first time. The 20 booster and 40 spacecraft were launched from the star base at 5:51 p.m. Central Time. The entire mission came to an end about an hour later. Both stages of the rocket successfully completed their pre-set targets. The success of this test flight comes at a critical point where SpaceX urgently needs to boost confidence. Since mid-July, the company's stock price has continued to fall below the issue price of $135, and the share of short positions in circulation has climbed to about one-third. Although a successful test flight could not directly improve the balance sheet, this week it solved SpaceX's core concern: can the relevant optimization plan take effect stably in a real flight environment after rectifying the suspension of the launch on July 16. On the first flight after this redesign, all two-stage rockets verified the reliability of the rectification plan. SpaceX has yet to finalize a specific date for the 14th test flight, but the government has stated that it hopes to hit orbital orbital flight during the next mission. After a successful test flight this Friday, the probability of achieving this goal was greatly increased.
