SpaceX’s third shot at Starship’s 10th test flight Tuesday succeeded after poor weather conditions forced the company to halt liftoff from its South Texas site Monday.

Tuesday evening’s test was a crucial milestone for Elon Musk’s ambitious plans to use Starship to bring astronauts to the moon and, eventually, conquer Mars.

On Monday, after the test was aborted, SpaceX said on X, “Standing down from today’s flight test attempt due to weather. Starship team is determining the next best available opportunity to fly.”

On Sunday, SpaceX said that the first attempt was scrapped because of ground-system problems.

The focus of the test mission was on the spacecraft’s upper stage, designed to carry crew and cargo into space before returning to Earth with a controlled descent into the Gulf of America.

A successful test was to mark a step forward in proving the system’s reusability, which is key to Musk’s vision of affordable space travel.
