    SpaceX plans a ship-catch attempt on Starship Flight 15 if Flight 14 goes well

    A September 15 post quotes Elon Musk predicting a ship-and-booster reflight at the end of 2026 or, more likely, early 2027.

    TLDR

    A September 15, 2026 post quotes Elon Musk saying SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower arms on Flight 15 if Flight 14 goes well. Musk said a booster had already been reflown, but the ship had neither been caught nor reflown. He put a ship-and-booster reflight at the end of 2026 or, more likely, early 2027, and said reflying the ship would make Starship the first fully reusable orbital rocket.
