D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -SpaceX Starship SN10 launch: How to watch rocket prototype fly today.

Detailed explanation-2: -The upcoming test flight will lift off from Starbase. Ship 24 will travel around Earth once and then splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

Detailed explanation-3: -Starship prototypes SN12, SN13, and SN14 were scrapped before completion; SN15 was selected to fly instead. SN15 had better avionics, structure, and engines. On 5 May 2021, SN15 launched, completed the same maneuvers as older prototypes, and landed softly after six minutes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Headquarters are in Hawthorne, California. SpaceX was formed by entrepreneur Elon Musk in the hopes of revolutionizing the aerospace industry and making affordable spaceflight a reality. The company entered the arena with the Falcon 1 rocket, a two-stage liquid-fueled craft designed to send small satellites into orbit.

Detailed explanation-5: -It’s more powerful, far less expensive, and fully reusable, and it can launch hundreds of times a year-not once. Those who have focused on the “space race” this year between SLS and Starship have missed the point. The real question is not which of the two super heavy-lift rockets launches first.
