Jupiter and Venus, SpaceX and Relativity: March Space News

As many as three launchers that have never traveled to space could try to reach orbit in the coming month.

The month’s biggest flight could be SpaceX’s Starship, a massive silver-colored spacecraft and rocket booster that is central to Mr. Musk’s goal of sending humans to Mars. A version of the vehicle will also be used by NASA to put astronauts on the moon. An orbital test flight would launch Starship from South Texas to a splashdown near Hawaii.

For casual observers, March offers only a couple of major astronomical highlights.
