SpaceX CEO Elon Musk just officially revealed that its monster Starship will grow 5 to 10 meters in the coming years with some huge changes to its booster’s launch system for better use of the rockets.
How will all these changes unfold?
Why did Musk make such a decision?
Let’s find out everything in today’s episode of the Alpha Tech channel:
Starting in the mid-20th century, humanity has explored space faster than ever before. We’ve launched satellites, telescopes, space stations, and spacecraft, all strapped to rocket-propelled launch vehicles that helped them breach our atmosphere.
The development of the world’s rocket saw significant changes over time, and like all things, it started small and worked its way up to its literal growth alongside better capabilities and power.
Tesla Owners Silicon Valley has recently shared a comparison picture of the “Rockets of the world”.
According to the picture, SpaceX Starship is the largest rocket in the present, especially with its full-stack state as it stands above the massive Super Heavy booster rocket that completes the stainless-steel vessel.
Interestingly, CEO and owner Elon Musk replied that the Starship would eventually grow taller in the coming years, approximately five to ten meters in height for its future versions.
It’s a notable jump in size from previous versions of the rocket. When Musk initially outlined what was then known as the “BFR” in September 2017, the ship itself measured 46 meters (150 feet) and the whole vehicle measured 106 meters (348 feet). When Musk unveiled the Starship Mk.1 prototype at the Boca Chica facility in Texas in September 2019, complete with its new stainless-steel approach, the ship measured its current 50 meters (164 feet) and the full design measured 118 meters (387 feet).
