On Monday afternoon, SpaceX tested their Super Heavy Booster 3 on a launch pad near Boca Chica, Texas. With this, SpaceX is one step closer to launching the most powerful orbital launch vehicle the world has ever seen. After the test, Elon Musk tweeted that BN3 was tested with three raptor engines. This is not
Elon Musk’s SpaceX announces plans for its first orbital flight test for its next-generation Starship rocket, with plans to launch from Texas and return off the coast of Hawaii. Standing tall at around 160 feet, Starship prototypes are about the size of a 16-story building and built of stainless steel. Last week, Starship SN15 recorded

The spacecraft would skim the outer atmosphere of Earth, and reduce travel times from many hours, to just minutes. While the rockets are more disturbing to their local environment in comparison
Over the last 60 years, Earthlings have witnessed improbable successes in the field of rocketry, science and astronomy. We’ve literally put a probe into interstellar space (thank you, Voyager 2) where it is still sending back reading of what it sees out there. Let that sink in. We’ve put humans on the moon. We’ve

This 150-meter hop took place 11 months after Starhopper’s experimental flight and was vital to test the technology of Starship, more specifically the methane-powered
SpaceX was testing a prototype of the Starship SN7 tank at its launch facility in Boca Chica, the second test of this week. The first one, which happened on June 15, ended in a leakage of the tank. But this time, the results were far more dramatic. This test happened a few days ago on
