The most powerful space rocket in human history, Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship, is scheduled for its maiden flight into Earth orbit on November 17.
The launch follows a failed attempt on April 20, where the Starship rocket exploded four minutes after liftoff. After the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration halted further experiments with the Starship. Elon Musk has now announced that the Starship will be launched on November 17.
The test flight involves the starship's booster separating three minutes after launch, orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 150 miles, and landing on the coast of Hawaii if successful.
