SpaceX is targeting Starship Flight 14 this morning from Pad 2 at Starbase, Texas, in a 75-minute window that opens at 7:15 a.m. CT (8:15 a.m. EDT / 1215 UTC), Space.com reported, with a live webcast about 30 minutes before liftoff. If the profile holds, Ship is expected to reach orbit for the first time, deploy 26 Starlink Version 3 satellites, fly about six orbits over a nearly 10-hour mission, and splash down in the Pacific west of Chile; Super Heavy is planned to splash down in the Gulf about seven minutes after liftoff. World Brief Now published a full before-liftoff World News Update at 5:29 a.m. CT with pad, cargo and booster details; the after-liftoff update will publish only after SpaceX confirms the booster result.
