SpaceX targets Starship Flight 15 for as early as Nov 13, first ship tower-catch attempt

SpaceX VP of Launch Kiko Dontchev announced a November 13 target for Starship Flight 15 at the UP.Summit; SpaceX's own post on Nov 7 described the date as 'as early as' Friday, Nov 13, pending regulatory approval. No mission page or launch time had been posted. The test campaign is complete: Booster 22 ran a full-duration 33-engine static fire Oct 25 and Ship 42 a 60-second six-engine fire Oct 27. The flight would be SpaceX's first attempt to catch a ship with the launch tower; earlier FAA airspace notices had pointed to Nov 8 and Nov 12, so the date remains unconfirmed.
