SpaceX announced a one-day delay from a targeted launch on Mar. 5 in a post on X Wednesday morning. You can watch the Flight 8 launch live here at Space.com, courtesy of SpaceX, or directly via the company. Coverage will begin about 40 minutes before liftoff. Follow our live Starship Flight 8 launch updates for the latest on the mission.

SpaceX's Starship rocket loses control and breaks apart minutes after launch, but company says test flights provide valuable data for future flights.

Like last time, Starship had four mock satellites to eject once the craft reached space on this eighth test flight as a practice for future missions. They resembled SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellites, thousands of which currently orbit Earth, and were meant to fall back down following their brief taste of space.
