The outcome could boost investor confidence ahead of SpaceX's initial public offering next month, expected to be the largest in history.

Ahead of a much anticipated IPO, SpaceX is carrying out a critical test of its giant, stainless steel rocket. Investors will be watching closely.

As SpaceX prepares for its next Starship test flight, the company’s prospectus underlines how critical that vehicle is to its ambitions.

The Starship rocket is a key component of SpaceX's success as it aims to go public in June, valued between $1.5 and 2 trillion.
