How to watch Elon Musk address SpaceX employees about plans for Mars
Tech billionaire Elon Musk will address thousands of SpaceX employees on Tuesday night about "making life multiplanetary." The CEO's comments are set to be held after SpaceX attempts its ninth Starship flight mission, which could launch this evening, Tuesday, May 27. For years, Musk has touted an intention of sending an uncrewed spacecraft to Mars by the end of 2026, with humans "likely" landing on the planet by 2031. The upcoming SpaceX flight launch follows eight flight tests, which began in 2023. The two most recent missions ended with vehicles exploding in the sky, though the spacecraft's rocket boosters successfully returned as planned. As SpaceX gears up for its next launch, here's what to know about watching Musk's address. SpaceX: Elon Musk says SpaceX will launch uncrewed Starship for Mars by end of 2026 Musk was originally scheduled to address SpaceX employees at 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 27. However, the event has been postponed to 9 p.m. ET, Musk said on X Tuesday afternoon. "This talk is postponed until after the Starship Flight 9 launch tonight," Musk wrote. The address will be livestreamed by SpaceX on X, formerly Twitter. Musk will address SpaceX employees at SpaceX's Starbase in Texas. Starbase, the company's headquarters in Boca Chica, is about 23 miles from Brownsville near the U.S.-Mexico border. Musk's interest in Mars is seemingly focused on humanity's long-term survival. In a few billion years − at least six billion, according to NASA − our solar system's expanding sun will destroy Earth. "That's one of the benefits of Mars, is life insurance for life collectively," Musk told Fox News host Jesse Watters in an interview on May 6. "We do at some point need to be a multi-planet civilization, because Earth will be incinerated." Previous test flight: SpaceX Starship rocket lost, debris shoots through sky According to the SpaceX website, the ninth fight launch could occur on Tuesday, May 27. The launch window opens at 7:30 p.m. ET. The ninth flight test will be livestreamed on the SpaceX website, X and the X TV app. Starship's first two flight tests of 2025 – on Jan. 16 and again on March 6 – both ended in explosions. "Several hardware changes have been made to increase reliability," SpaceX said on its website in its announcement of the upcoming test.

Elon Musk postpones SpaceX address on Mars: How to watch, new timing and more
Elon Musk has postponed his address, scheduled for the evening of Tuesday (May 27) to Wednesday morning (May 28). The tech billionaire was supposed to speak to thousands of SpaceX employees, focusing on his long-standing mission to "make life multiplanetary." Musk said that the address is rescheduled for SpaceX's launch of its ninth Starship flight . "This talk is postponed until after the Starship Flight 9 launch tonight," Musk said in a post. How to watch Elon Musk's address Musk will deliver his speech at 6.30 am ET (4pm IST), May 28. The event will be livestreamed by SpaceX on X (formerly Twitter). The address will take place at SpaceX's Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas—roughly 23 miles from Brownsville, near the US-Mexico border. Meanwhile, SpaceX has announced that the ninth Starship flight test could take place on the evening of May 27, with the launch window opening at 7:30 pm ET (5am IST). The flight test will be livestreamed on the SpaceX website, on X, and via the X TV app. Musk's Mars ambition Musk has emphasised his ambition to send an uncrewed mission to Mars by 2026 and possibly land humans on the Red Planet by 2031. The upcoming launch follows a series of eight test flights since 2023. While recent tests have ended in mid-air explosions, the rocket boosters performed as expected, safely returning to Earth. Musk sees Mars as crucial to humanity's survival. "That's one of the benefits of Mars—it's life insurance for life collectively. We need to become a multi-planet civilization, because Earth will eventually be incinerated," he said in a recent interview with Fox News. NASA estimates that this could happen in about six billion years, due to the expansion of the Sun. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Starship launch: How to watch livestream of Elon Musk's SpaceX test from South Texas
Starship launch: How to watch livestream of Elon Musk's SpaceX test from South Texas You can also watch the launch from the comfort of your own home, courtesy of a livestream provided by SpaceX. Show Caption Hide Caption SpaceX Starship debris falls to Earth after rocket 'disassembly' SpaceX said it lost contact with its Starship rocket, which Elon Musk's company said "experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly." SpaceX has announced that it is targeting Tuesday, May 27 for Starship's ninth flight test. Starship launches from SpaceX's Starbase, the company's headquarters in Boca Chica. The company town built about 23 miles from Brownsville in Cameron County. In the years ahead, Starship is intended to carry both cargo and humans to Earth's orbit and deeper into the cosmos. SpaceX's gargantuan Starship rocket is due to once again get off the ground from Texas more than two months since its last launch. And for Elon Musk's commercial spaceflight company, the stakes are high. Starship's first two flight tests of 2025 – on Jan. 16 and again on March 6 – ended in dramatic explosions that sent cascades of fiery debris streaking across the sky. In both mishaps, the upper stage, the vehicle where astronauts and cargo would ride, came apart mere minutes into its flight instead of landing as planned in the Indian Ocean. The impending launch, which SpaceX officially announced on Friday, May 23 a day after getting key regulatory approval, could be visible halfway around the world as the 400-foot vehicle soars on a suborbital trajectory. But you can also watch the launch from the comfort of your own home, courtesy of a livestream provided by SpaceX. Here's everything to know about when and where to watch SpaceX conduct the ninth-ever Starship flight test from the company's Starbase. SpaceX Starship launch: Here's a recap of every previous Starship flight from South Texas SpaceX rocket launch: When is Starship flight 9? SpaceX has announced that it is targeting Tuesday, May 27 for Starship's ninth flight test. Liftoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET from SpaceX's Starbase, the company's headquarters in Boca Chica about 23 miles from Brownsville near the U.S.-Mexico border. The news comes after the Federal Aviation Administration, which licenses commercial rocket launches, gave official approval Thursday, May 22 for SpaceX to launch Starship once again. The greenlight follows SpaceX completing an investigation into the most recent Starship launch on March 6, which ended with the vehicle's upper stage exploding for the second consecutive time. "Several hardware changes have been made to increase reliability," SpaceX said on its website in its announcement. How to watch SpaceX livestream SpaceX will host a livestream of the flight test that will begin about 30 minutes before liftoff. The webcast is available on its website and on social media platform X. Coverage will also be available on SpaceX's new X TV app. "As is the case with all developmental testing, the schedule is dynamic and likely to change, so be sure to check in here and stay tuned to our X account for updates," SpaceX said. What is Starship? SpaceX is developing Starship to be a fully reusable transportation system, meaning both the rocket and vehicle can return to the ground for additional missions. In the years ahead, Starship is intended to carry both cargo and humans to Earth's orbit and deeper into the cosmos. NASA's lunar exploration plans, which appear to be in jeopardy under President Donald Trump's proposed budget, call for Artemis III astronauts aboard the Orion capsule to board the Starship while in orbit for a ride to the moon's surface. But Musk is more preoccupied with Starship reaching Mars – potentially, he has claimed, by the end of 2026. Under his vision, human expeditions aboard the Starship could then follow in the years after the first uncrewed spacecraft reaches the Red Planet. How big is Starship? Starship is regarded as the world's largest and most powerful launch vehicle ever developed. At more than 400 total feet in height, Starship towers over SpaceX's famous Falcon 9 rocket – one of the world's most active – which stands at nearly 230 feet. The launch vehicle is composed of both a 232-foot Super Heavy rocket and the 171-foot upper stage spacecraft, or capsule or crew and cargo would ride. Super Heavy alone is powered by 33 of SpaceX's Raptor engines. The upper section, also called Starship or Ship for short, is the upper stage powered by six Raptor engines that will ultimately travel in orbit.
