SpaceX is preparing for a Starship test flight on Friday, Nov. 13, aiming to catch both rocket stages—Starship and its booster—during their return to Earth for the first time. The attempt marks a key step in SpaceX’s broader plan to reuse major parts of its launch system.
Both outlets frame the mission as an “epic” and historic milestone, highlighting the novelty of coordinating two stage-recovery attempts in the same flight. Gizmodo emphasizes the date as a memorable detail and focuses on the spectacle of the first double-catch attempt, while Space.com focuses more directly on the mission identification and test-flight context (dubbed Flight 15) alongside the goal of recovering both stages.
In both accounts, the core fact is unchanged: SpaceX plans a double-catch effort for Starship’s next test mission on Nov. 13.
