Starship Flight 15 May Not Return

SpaceX has already filed for the radio links needed by Starship Flight 15. The filing describes an orbital ship and requests a stronger way to send commands toward it. Flight 14 should prove that Starship can reach orbit and return safely. What if Flight 15 is built to go up and wait for another day? The clues point toward a mission that could last far longer than one trip around Earth. SpaceX has described a long orbital test followed by a second Starship launch. We are going to break down the FCC clue, Ship 42, the extended mission, and why Flight 15 may become SpaceX's first fuel station in space. Bringing it home may not be the main goal.
