SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy launch draws near with final preparations and trajectory revealed.

SpaceX is preparing for the first full-scale launch of its Starship vehicle, with a launch rehearsal planned for next week and the first launch attempt expected later this month pending regulatory approval. The FAA has listed a first launch date of April 17 for the Starship flight, with backup dates of April 18 through 21. The Starship upper stage will splash down in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii, and it's unclear if Starship will actually enter orbit or perform a long suborbital flight.
