SpaceX has rolled out its Starship rocket for its sixth test flight, scheduled for November 19 at 3:30 am IST. The rocket is now at the launch pad in Boca Chica, Texas. This time, a banana sticker near the rocket's flaps has caught attention. The sticker references the "banana for scale" meme, which humorously compares sizes using a banana as a standard object. The upcoming flight aims to catch the Super Heavy booster with a tower and test heatshield experiments during reentry over the Indian Ocean. Starship's previous flight successfully caught the booster on the first attempt.
