Fans of SpaceX that have been following the development of the company’s next
generation rocket are by now used to the first orbital launch milestone being postponed
multiple times. However, as SpaceX has revealed, the world’s most powerful booster,
the Super Heavy, is about to head to space for the first time ever this week! How did
SpaceX manage this quick turn-around? In this video, we bring you all the exciting
updates as SpaceX is finally launching the Super Heavy to orbit this week!
SpaceX is determined to hold on to its lead in the private space industry! After literally
coming from behind to overtake more prominent and older players, SpaceX is charging
ahead by picking up launch contracts from private and government customers.
However, much of the growth of the company is driven by the burning personal ambition
of the visionary CEO, Elon Musk! While his desire is to make space travel affordable to
all and not only the uber-rich, Musk’s more serious ambition is to put people that will live
there permanently on planet Mars! To achieve this, Musk is overseeing the
development of the most powerful rocket ever; the Starship!
