    Now targeting Friday, July 24 for Starship’s thirteenth flight test, due to weather.

    A key objective for the flight test is to get clear imagery from the ground of Starship’s heatshield as it flies at a higher dynamic pressure during ascent, which won't be possible with today's weather conditions. Visibility is forecast to be ideal for a Friday attempt.

    NASA's Artemis III will need three rockets to do the job Apollo did with one

    Blue Origin and SpaceX get their turn to prove they can dock, loiter, and not blow up the launch pad

    Not really comparable, but by no means better for that reason. Still an unknown amount of effort involved in actually landing, IMHO...
