A new-and-improved Starship megarocket is due to soar halfway across the world in a matter of days in SpaceX's first test of the vehicle since May.

SpaceX boss Elon Musk has promised to lay out his company’s plans for the mighty Starship rocket in an upcoming event. In a post on X on Thursday night, he said the presentation will take place shortly before the rocket's 10th flight test, which is expected to take place next in the first half of next month.
