SpaceX stacks Starship Flight 14 for first orbital try

SpaceX stacked Ship 41 on Super Heavy booster B21 at Starbase Pad 2 in the early hours of September 23, assembling the 124-meter Flight 14 vehicle for Starship's first planned orbital attempt. The company said opportunistic full-stack testing, including a wet dress rehearsal, was planned for September 24, with launch still targeted as early as September 28 pending FAA approval. The roughly 10-hour mission is planned to deploy 26 Starlink V3 satellites, the first V3s intended to stay in orbit.
