We have a date for the next launch of the StarShip, it will be November 18 from the SpaceX base in south Texas, the Star base, remember that it is not actually the ship developed, it is another new prototype, the StarShip is what the StarShip is known as. rocket assembly and also the ship, the rocket is called super heavy, the ship is called StarShip or I have seen it in the communications that they also call them SIP, simply.
Together, the two elements right now have a height of 122 meters, I say right now because the first ones only reached 120, they have had to add something else to correct and maybe the final design changes a little, but 122 is a a gigantic rocket, it is the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, according to SpaceX the next flight test of the starship aims to expand the capabilities of the ship and the booster and get closer to the possibility of reusing the entire system online.
The objectives include returning the rocket to the launch site to capture and re-ignite the ship's raptor engine while in space, and they also want to test a series of experiments such as what happens with the heat shield and maneuvering changes for the re-entry, to see if I could re-enter in a better way.
The ship will fall again into the Indian Ocean and it seems that they are not going to recover it, so it will happen a bit like the other one, it may self-destruct, I guess not this one, but in the next one we might be able to see the vertical landing of what What is the ship after returning from space, it would be incredible, with the Mechazilla thing or the rocket-catching crane it was already amazing.
Furthermore, Elon Musk made some statements about the starship, he made them in his official bulletin x or x he said verbatim that the starship is now more than twice as powerful as the Saturn 5 rocket, the rocket that was used for the Apollo missions to the moon and in In approximately one year it will be three times more powerful with 10,000 metric tons of thrust. More importantly, they are designing it to be fully reusable, burning approximately 80% liquid oxygen and approximately 20% methane. liquid, this is important because it is a very low-cost propellant and this allows the cost per ton in orbital space to be approximately 10,000% lower than the cost of sending a ton with the Saturn 5.
A 100,000% lower price is a brutal reduction, and the message ends and the most the message saying well, he's going for his own thing, he's going for Mars, and ends up saying literally "starship is the difference between being a multi-planet civilization or a single-planet civilization, building a new world." on Mars it is now possible”, well you know that it always ends with something epic.
