Starship Flight 15 slips on FAA planning slide to no earlier than Nov 8. The date is unconfirmed.

SpaceX has not announced a launch date for the 15th Starship flight. An FAA air-traffic planning slide dated 8 October lists the flight "no earlier than" (NET) 8 November from Starbase, Texas. NASASpaceflight, which reported the slide, calls the schedule "unofficial" [1][2]. An earlier planning date was NET 19 October [2][3]. The new slide appeared after SpaceX removed the engines from Ship 42, the upper stage assigned to the flight, for more ground testing, according to NASASpaceflight [1]. **The 8 November date is unconfirmed.** As of 14 October, SpaceX, Elon Musk, the FAA (no Flight 15 license modification) and maritime and airspace authorities (no NOTAM or marine notice) have published no date. A final check at about 2:56 a.m. ET on 14 October found no change.
