SpaceX & Elon Musk Announced the Orbital launch Of the Starship Super Heavy To Orbit With Crew + SLS Launch
Huge Thanks To:
SpaceX
NASA
The first private astronaut to fly to the International Space Station plans to return to space on a trip around the moon on SpaceX’s Starship with his wife and up to 10 other people. SpaceX announced on Oct. 12 that it sold tickets to Dennis and Akiko Tito for what will be the second crewed Starship mission around the moon. The two are the first of as many as 12 people who will go on that mission, whose schedule is unclear.
The mission, as currently designed, involves a Starship launched into low Earth orbit that would rendezvous with a depot, another Starship whose tanks would have been filled with propellant from additional Starship launches. Once the lunar-bound Starship’s tanks are filled, it will fire its engines on a circumlunar trajectory, a figure-eight that will take it around the moon and within 200 kilometers of its surface before returning to Earth. The entire mission would take about a week, including three days each way to the moon and back.
