SpaceX goes back to drawing board over its ambitious rocket for Mars

• SpaceX has unveiled a radical redesign of its Starship rocket following several failed flight attempts.
• The Super Heavy booster will now feature three larger and stronger grid fins, replacing one key landing fin, to improve vehicle control and enable new catch mechanisms.
• This redesign follows the most recent test flight in May, where the booster crashed into the Gulf of Mexico and the main Starship exploded over the Indian Ocean.
• Elon Musk endorsed the simplification, stating, "Best part is no part," in reference to the design changes.
• The next critical test flight, Flight 10, is anticipated as early as this weekend, with maritime warnings issued for 16 August, as SpaceX continues its ambitious plans for Mars missions.
