Elon Musk Just Declared Shocking Announcement on Starship Flight 8 Launch in Hours. NASA is Stunned…
Less than 12 hours remain until Starship lifts off for the second time in 2025 and the eighth time in the entire Starship program.
This will be a pivotal flight, determining whether SpaceX’s larger Starship V2 can operate as intended. The previous flight of Starship V2 ended in failure, making this attempt even more crucial.
So, what will SpaceX do in Starship Flight 8 to ensure success?
Let’s find out on today’s episode of Alpha Tech!
Recently, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the agency responsible for licensing commercial rocket launches, granted SpaceX authorization to conduct the eighth test flight of the Starship system, even as the investigation into the January incident remains ongoing.

"The FAA issued a license modification authorizing the SpaceX Starship Flight 8 launch," the agency stated. "The FAA determined SpaceX met all safety, environmental, and other licensing requirements for the suborbital test flight."
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has started promoting Flight 8 on social media. Initially, the company aimed to launch the test flight on Friday but later rescheduled it for Monday. The launch is expected to take place that afternoon from the company’s facilities in South Texas.
Many might think this is an unexpectedly early launch schedule for Flight 8, but in reality, SpaceX had to complete a tremendous amount of work within a month to ensure this timeline.

Starship and Super Heavy’s seventh test flight aimed high with ambitious goals—demonstrating the core ability to return and catch a booster while launching an upgraded upper-stage design.
However, overcoming challenges is never easy. Starship Flight 7 did not go as planned, with the second stage exploding, prompting an FAA investigation into the incident.
Although many objectives remain unmet, the lessons learned will be directly applied to future vehicles, enhancing their capabilities as Starship moves toward full and rapid reusability.
