SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy development is progressing at Starbase in Cameron, Texas. The company's fully reusable launch system is being designed to carry both crew and cargo to Mars and other destinations in the solar system.
On Tuesday, March 8, 2023, SpaceX conducted a static fire test of the Starship prototype. The test was successful, and the company is now preparing for the first orbital launch of the Starship.
The Starship is the largest and most powerful rocket ever built. It is taller than the Statue of Liberty and has a diameter of 18 meters. The rocket is powered by 33 Raptor engines, which produce a combined thrust of 17 million pounds.
The Starship is designed to carry up to 100 tons of cargo to Mars. The rocket can also be used to carry crew, and SpaceX plans to use the Starship to send humans to Mars by 2030.
