Casey Dreier, head of space policy at the American Planetary Society, said in an interview: “Relatively speaking, the cheaper part of the launch is actually fuel. Therefore, achieving reuse, especially rapid reuse, requires only a small amount of maintenance, can greatly reduce the cost of orbital launch and at the same time increase the total payload sent into space. This is also the direction SpaceX has been making every effort to advance.” SpaceX's starship is expected to become the first fully reusable rocket and spacecraft in human history. However, to achieve this goal, SpaceX must prove that the two-stage arrows of the world's largest and most powerful rocket can all return to the launch site and be captured by the giant mechanical “chopsticks” on the launch tower. If weather and arrow conditions permit, SpaceX plans to perform the Starship's 15th test flight at 5:45 p.m. EST on Friday at Starbase in Cameron County, Texas, in an attempt to complete this milestone for the first time. The launch window is 75 minutes long, and the launch will be cancelled if the timeout is exceeded.
