SpaceX's Starship Super-Rocket
Elon Musk Takes the Long View in Glitzy Update on SpaceX's Starship Super-Rocket
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk finally gave us an update on how the development of the Starship and Super Heavy booster is going. During a presentation at the SpaceX Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, Musk showed off a fully stacked up Starship and Super Heavy booster. He said the company is waiting on approval from the FAA and other government agencies to give them the green light to launch the spacecraft sometime in the next few months.
During the presentation, he talked about the challenges of developing the Raptor 2 engine (it tries to melt its combustion chamber) and the plans to construct a second Starbase at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Attendees were also able to see the enormous Mechazilla launch tower, which will catch incoming rockets with its chopstick arms.
