At 3:19 p.m. on Thursday, October 7, the rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40, finally taking flight after Sunday and Wednesday scrubs. The rocket soared upward, turning to fly on a southeast trajectory. Thursday's liftoff time was adjusted to six minutes past the initially targeted launch time.

SpaceX will try again Thursday to get off a Starlink launch from Cape Canaveral after scrubbing the launch on Monday and Wednesday.

Sixth test flight of the largest rocket to ever fly will feature another attempt at catching the Super Heavy booster and returning it to the launchpad.

On the heels of a successful launch and landing with the "chopstick" arms, SpaceX is aiming to launch its sixth Starship test in Texas as early as November 18.
