Texas International Fishing Tournament, Rayburger, and Flight 14 Plans.
July 30, 2026 · Weekend of July 31 – August 2
What's good, 956. The massive Texas International Fishing Tournament takes over South Padre Island all weekend, Rayburger brings the 4EVER TOUR to McAllen on Saturday night, and SpaceX just announced some wild plans for Starship Flight 14. Here's everything happening this weekend.
🚀 SpaceX Alert — Flight 13 Success & Flight 14 Tower Catch
Flight 13 successfully launched on July 24! The Starship upper stage completed a perfect suborbital hop, deployed 20 Starlink V3 satellites, re-ignited its engine in space, and survived a soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean intact. The Super Heavy booster had a "hard" splashdown in the Gulf. Now, Elon Musk has announced that for Flight 14, SpaceX will attempt the first-ever launch tower catch ("Mechazilla") of the Starship upper stage.
