SpaceX says it is now targeting Starship’s 13th flight test for as early as Thursday, July 23, linking to its Starship Flight 13 page. A few minutes later, Elon Musk put the same update more simply: “Next Starship launch attempt on Friday.” So far, the public update comes from the company’s own announcement and follow-up X posts, not independent reporting. The timing alone was enough to prompt visible anticipation on X.
