That flight lasted just four minutes, and a second test flight in November 2023 ended after about eight months because of a \u201crapid unscheduled disassembly.\u201d Starship nearly reentered Earth\u2019s atmosphere in its third test flight in March, though the company lost contact with the spacecraft, which later landed in the Indian Ocean. In its fourth test launch in June, SpaceX maintained contact with Starship throughout its flight and the spacecraft completed its first landing burn about an hour after launch. Starship is intended to test reusable space travel technology, which Musk has said would be used to return humans to the moon and travel to Mars. NASA has tapped Starship to land its Artemis 3 astronauts on the moon by 2026.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Forbes Valuation<\/h2>\n<p>Musk is the world\u2019s wealthiest person with a fortune valued at $303.7 billion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/elon-musk\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/elon-musk\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/elon-musk\/\" aria-label=\"according\" rel=\"noopener\">according<\/a> to our latest estimates.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Further Reading<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-1 link-embed--long-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/mollybohannon\/2024\/10\/13\/elon-musks-spacex-launches-5th-starship-test-and-catches-booster-in-mid-air\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX Launches 5th Starship Test\u2014And Catches Booster In Mid-Air\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/mollybohannon\/2024\/10\/13\/elon-musks-spacex-launches-5th-starship-test-and-catches-booster-in-mid-air\/\"><span class=\"link-embed__info\"><span class=\"link-embed__provider\">Forbes<\/span><span class=\"link-embed__title\">Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX Launches 5th Starship Test\u2014And Catches Booster In Mid-Air<\/span><small class=\"link-embed__byline\">By <span class=\"link-embed__author\">Molly Bohannon<\/span><\/small><\/span><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail-wrapper\"><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail allow-inline-style\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/specials-images.forbesimg.com\/imageserve\/670bcdb9b93f2e0113d85932\/960x0.jpg?cropX1=0&amp;cropX2=2140&amp;cropY1=110&amp;cropY2=1314);\"\/><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tylerroush\/2024\/06\/06\/spacex-launching-starships-fourth-test-flight-heres-how-to-follow-along\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"SpaceX\u2019s Starship Rocket Splashes Down For First Time In Key Test Flight\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tylerroush\/2024\/06\/06\/spacex-launching-starships-fourth-test-flight-heres-how-to-follow-along\/\"><span class=\"link-embed__info\"><span class=\"link-embed__provider\">Forbes<\/span><span class=\"link-embed__title\">SpaceX\u2019s Starship Rocket Splashes Down For First Time In Key Test Flight<\/span><small class=\"link-embed__byline\">By <span class=\"link-embed__author\">Ty Roush<\/span><\/small><\/span><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail-wrapper\"><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail allow-inline-style\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/specials-images.forbesimg.com\/imageserve\/6661c63ae0b405c7dbf5f2de\/960x0.jpg?cropX1=0&amp;cropX2=1184&amp;cropY1=0&amp;cropY2=667);\"\/><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tylerroush\/2024\/11\/16\/elon-musks-spacex-launches-starship-again-next-week-heres-what-to-know-about-rockets-6th-test-flight\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Topline SpaceX\u2019s Starship rocket will be launched for a sixth test flight next week, the latest experiment by the Elon Musk-owned aerospace firm to create reusable spacecraft after a previous &hellip;
