We could soon see another launch at the Boca Chica SpaceX launch site, according to Elon Musk.

In a social media post made on Monday, Musk announced the fourth Starship flight will happen “in about two weeks.”

"Primary goal is getting through max reentry heating,” Musk said. “Worth noting that no one has ever succeeded in creating a fully reusable heat shield. Shuttle required >6 months of rework.”

The March 14 test flight ended with SpaceX losing contact of Starship during re-entry.

The spacecraft was expected to splash down in the Indian Ocean.
