During an earnings call, SpaceX founder Elon Musk says during Starship Flight 15, which he says is "expected to happen next month," will include an attempt to catch both the booster and ship.
"Success is not guaranteed on these first flights, but I'd say it's more likely than not that this succeeds next flight. If not, we have a steady stream of Starship flight attempts through the end of this year and then accelerating next year."
Musk goes on to say that Starship is expected to fly "weekly at some point in the first half of next year and then second half of next year, twice weekly or maybe even more frequently than that by the end of next year."
This afternoon, NASA is giving a briefing on the upcoming U.S. Spacewalks 100 and 101, which will be used to install the final ISS Roll-Out Solar Arrays to help increase the power generation on the space station.

5/ Hehn said because the U.S. Spacewalks 100 and 101 are essentially mirrors of each other, there was "pretty significant gain" in having both being performed by Menon and Kutryk.
"They do a ton of studying on board, hours and hours. [EVAs] take up time in order to understand the mile markers, the waypoints to perform what on the animation looked very simple, but put yourself in their shoes, and you have a very complex object that is station that you've got to navigate your way around and you've got to do so efficiently."
