# SpaceX is set for the next test flight of its Starship megarocket, the linchpin of founder Elon Musk’s Mars ambitions, after the vessel’s last two outings ended in fiery explosions. A launch window opens tonight from the company’s Starbase facility in Texas. Standing 123 metres tall, the largest and most powerful launch vehicle ever built carries Musk’s hopes of making humanity a multi-planetary species. NASA is also counting on a variant of Starship to serve as the crew lander for the mission to return Americans to the Moon.
