NEW: Elon Musk's SpaceX is targeting Thursday for its next Starship launch attempt, following a last-second abort on the 13th test flight earlier this month.

What happened

SpaceX announced it will try to launch its Starship vehicle on Thursday after a last‑second abort ended the 13th test flight earlier this month.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Starship is the core of SpaceX’s plan to lower launch costs and enable missions to the Moon, Mars and commercial payloads; each test moves the technology closer to operational use.

Analyst inference

The launch attempt occurs while investors watch the space sector’s growth and the impact of reusable rockets on traditional launch providers, potentially shifting capital toward companies that can offer cheaper access to space.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Whether Thursday’s launch succeeds or aborts again, which will affect confidence in Starship’s timeline and related stock or token sentiment. Proposed
2. Regulatory feedback from the Federal Aviation Administration, which could impose additional safety requirements or delay future flights. Proposed
3. Any announced partnerships or contracts tied to Starship’s capabilities, as they could drive revenue growth for SpaceX and its suppliers. Proposed
