  "account": "SpaceX is preparing for a historic Starship flight, Flight 15, on November 13th, aiming to demonstrate full reusability of the megarocket. The mission will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage, chopstick-style, upon landing at the Starbase site in South Texas. If successful, this would be the first full recovery of an orbital launch system, marking a crucial breakthrough towards making Starship a reliable, rapidly reusable rocket capable of supporting frequent launches and the deployment of massive satellite constellations.",
  "summary": "SpaceX plans to launch its Starship megarocket on an unprecedented double-catch mission today (Nov. 13), and you can watch the action live.",
