SpaceX has set Friday, Nov 13 at 22:45 UTC for Starship Flight 15, the first attempt to bring both stages of the rocket back to the launch tower for a catch instead of letting them land on their own. If the flight clears the tower at Starbase, Texas, it becomes the first full recovery of an orbital launch system, a milestone that sits directly under the cost-per-kilogram math that decides whether Starship becomes a commodity cargo plane or stays a development project.

What to watch: a first attempted double catch of the Starship ship and the V3 Super Heavy booster, 26 Starlink V3 satellites aboard, all pending one final regulatory approval from the FAA.
