Elon Musk’s SpaceX is gearing up for the tenth test flight of its colossal Starship rocket this Sunday from its Starbase facility in Texas—a venture now deemed a pivotal inflection point amid multiple recent failures . In 2025, three consecutive Starship flights ended in dramatic explosions—twice mid-air and once during a ground test—raising serious concerns over the program’s viability . SpaceX has made technical corrections, including redesigning a fuel diffuser, to address the root cause of instability . Experts warn the outcome could either propel Starship toward success or signal a major setback in SpaceX’s Mars ambitions. (PC: Reuters)
