SpaceX has reassembled the world’s tallest rocket, and Elon Musk has posted pictures of it on Twitter. The Starship rocket and the Super Heavy booster stand 395 feet tall. The Starship is a stainless-steel rocket that has been tapped to land astronauts on the moon by around 2025. The Starship and its booster are expected to launch SpaceX’s first orbital flight this year. The Federal Aviation Administration is currently conducting an environmental review of the launch and should finish by the end of the month.
Key Takeaways:
- The SpaceX Starship rocket is being engineered to transport astronauts during deep-space missions.
- The Starship rocket is the tallest rocket in the world with a height of 165 feet.
- The launch date of the Starship is unknown since the FAA must do an environmental review prior to launch.
“Musk posted the photos overnight with no comment, apparently to let the epic scope of the sight sink in as the billionaire prepares to give a major update tonight on SpaceX’s Starship program.”
