Musk uses Chinese phrase to wish Starship success ahead of 1st orbital attempt

SpaceX completed wet dress rehearsal ahead of Starship Flight 14 launch, bringing the world's most powerful rocket closer to its first attempt to reach orbit. Sharing an image from the rehearsal, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk wrote, "May Starship have the Mandate of Heaven." The phrase draws from ancient Chinese philosophy, where the "Mandate of Heaven" grants success to an endeavour.
