Proactive Investors - SpaceX could launch its giant Starship rocket tomorrow morning, in what boss Elon Musk is hoping will be third-time lucky.
Having said last week that the 120-metre rocket was fully stacked and preparing for launch, on Wednesday the company said the space rocket "could launch as soon as March 14".
The timing of Starship's third uncrewed flight test is "pending regulatory approval," SpaceX said on its website, which is required from the Federal Aviation Authority.
The first two flights of the two-stage rocket made it off the ground but exploded before reaching orbit.
Thursday March 14 is the primary date for the Starship launch, with a launch window all the way to next Monday, March 18.
Blast off from the Boca Chica, Texas site could occur around 8 am Eastern Standard Time, based on a launch livestream set up to start at 7:30 am, specialist website Space.com reported.
In its fully stacked configuration with Super Heavy boosters affixed below the Starship upper stage, Starship stands at almost 400 feet, taller than the Statue of Liberty.
Its 33 Raptor engines run on sub-cooled liquid methane.
Versions of Starship being launched this year and last are a prototype of a design that is planned to be able to carry cargo and passengers into Earth orbit, to the moon and potentially enable interplanetary travel.
