When SpaceX's Starship takes off next time from South Texas, it will have a few touch-ups from the last time the rocket launched in January and rained flaming debris down near the Turks and Caicos Islands.

SpaceX will launch Intuitive Machine’s Athena lunar lander toward the moon’s south pole on Wednesday, marking the latest mission by Intuitive Machine to explore the moon’s surface after completing the first-ever lunar landing by a private company last year.

"This is the first time that a rocket has taken off from one country, gone to space and landed in another country!" -- SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk.
