This will be Starship’s first orbital flight.
The SpaceX Starship launch is due tomorrow, and today the company shared photos of the monstrous rocket installed at the Starbase launch site near Boca Chica in South Texas.
At the moment, the launch is scheduled for April 17 at 15:00 Moscow time, but SpaceX will have 150 minutes to spare if something initially goes wrong.

Recall that this will be the first orbital flight of Starship. As part of this launch, SpaceX will not try to return the first stage, as it did in its time with the Falcon launches. The flight itself should last approximately 90 minutes, after which the Starship will land in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii.
