SpaceX revealed a new Wild Goal for Starship Flight 10, unlike any other...
SpaceX is about to launch their tenth Starship test flight on Sunday, August 24, 2025, and it’s gonna be a wild ride! We’re talking rocket flips, fake satellites, and some super cool experiments to make this giant rocket ready for the Moon and Mars.
First, the Super Heavy booster is gonna try some crazy moves! After it lifts Starship into the sky, it’ll separate and do a flip—like a gymnast doing a backflip in space!

According to SpaceX, ""this maneuver was demonstrated for the first time on Flight 9 and requires less propellant to be held in reserve, enabling the use of more propellant during ascent to enable additional payload mass to orbit.
Then, it’ll fire its engines to head toward the Gulf of America for a splashdown. But here’s the cool part: they’re focusing on testing landing burns to slow it down, like hitting the brakes on a car. They’ll even turn off one of the three main engines on purpose to see if a backup engine from the middle ring can handle the landing. Then, for the end of the landing burn, it’ll hover above the ocean with just two center engines, like a helicopter, before dropping into the water. No landing back at the launch site this time—they’re playing it safe to get good data!

Also, the Starship upper stage has its own big to-do list! It’s gonna try to drop off eight Starlink simulators, which are like practice versions of the real ones that give us internet from space. These fakes will be on the same suborbital trajectory as Starship, and burn up when they come back to Earth, but it’s a big step toward carrying real payloads. Plus, they’re gonna try restarting a Raptor engine in space—think of it like restarting your car in the middle of a road trip to Mars!
But wait, there’s more! SpaceX is turning Starship into a science lab for this flight, focusing on enabling the upper stage to return to the launch site. They’re testing how vulnerable areas across the vehicle handle coming back to Earth by removing some heat shield tiles on purpose—like taking off part of a spaceship’s armor to see how tough it is. They’re also trying new metal tiles, including one with active cooling. This is to find better ways to protect the rocket during reentry. On the sides of the rocket, they’ve added special parts called “functional catch fittings.” These are like hooks or connectors that might help catch the rocket when it lands. The test will check how these fittings handle the heat and stress of reentry.
