SpaceX & Elon Musk ready for their starship launch! SpaceX is getting ready to conduct a key test of its enormous rocket, which will be used for both commercial launches and the long-awaited Elon Musk Mars mission. At a beach east of Brownsville, Texas, employees of Musk’s space company are preparing for the launch of Starship, the Towering rocket system that Musk’s company has been building for years with the intention of one day launching into deep space. Thanks to 33 of SpaceX’s new Raptor 2 engines, the extremely hefty rocket will launch with 17 million pounds of thrust, or about twice as much as the Artemis 1 mission. Six Raptor 2 engines on the Starship itself can lift more crew and cargo! More than 220,000 pounds to low earth orbit than is currently possible with the SLS. When Starship and Super Heavy combine, the result will be the world’s strongest rocket.
Recent static fire engine tests of SpaceX’s Starship prototype sn24 and Super Heavy Booster prototype number seven, two serious contenders for Starship’s inaugural orbital flight, have given the company momentum. According to SpaceX, Texas should continue to host Starship test flights. The first test flight would begin with a 90-minute long blast of the ship’s rocket above the Gulf of Mexico. After the dates Musk had stated gone, it’s uncertain when SpaceX will try the first flight. Some NASA insiders claim that a previous Starship version buyer thought the project may launch in early December, but that was certainly not the case at all. Put on your seat belts because there is a lot to unpack in this episode of Meta Tech.
