SpaceX is aiming to launch the 400-foot-tall Starship on Friday

SpaceX is targeting Friday morning for the second crewless test launch of its Super Heavy rocket and Starship spacecraft, collectively known as the Starship.

Packing a colossal 17 million pounds of thrust, the launch is sure to be spectacular, though hopefully this time the Starship will make it to orbit instead of exploding in midair a few minutes after lift-off, which is what happened in April.

NASA will be watching the mission with interest as it could one day deploy the reusable flight system for crewed voyages to the moon, Mars, and beyond.

It also offers tips for those brave souls planning to head out for a spot of Black Friday shopping and reveals the quietest times to visit places like grocery stores, bakeries, and post offices. Our only concern is that if everyone follows Google's advice, it may not be so quiet after all ...
