Starship Flight 14 is entering its final launch-readiness phase, but the biggest surprise may be what SpaceX is testing for Flight 15, including a potential first-ever tower catch, new Starlink deployment plans, upgraded Pad 2 systems, and critical vehicle handling tests. Meanwhile, BepiColombo reaches the final approach to Mercury after nearly eight years and 9.9 billion kilometres of travel, revealing a much deeper scientific mission than simply reaching the planet. And in another overlooked milestone, Isar Aerospace's Spectrum rocket has finally reached orbit after its first-flight failure, marking a major breakthrough for Europe's private launch industry and potentially reshaping the continent's commercial launch ambitions.
