SpaceX chief Elon Musk said on Monday that the Starship rocket will make its 10th test flight in August. Musk made the announcement in a post on X, saying, “Starship launches again next month.” Additional details about a specific date have yet to be shared by Musk or SpaceX,

No one doubts that rocket tests mean failures, but the question for Starship is this: Is it just having extended teething pains, or are its failures a symptom of a fundamentally unworkable design that will never be fixed?

SpaceX is ten full-scale test launches into developing its enormous, nearly 400-feet-tall Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built. Over the last two and a half years, we've seen over half a dozen spectacular explosions.
