SpaceX wants to send Starship into space by the end of March
The American billionaire Elon Musk announced new dates for the first launch of the Starship spacecraft. The voyage around the Earth will take place before the end of the first quarter of this year.
Here's What We Know
The head of the company SpaceX promised to send Starship into space last year, but as we can see, it did not work out. Now, Elon Musk says that the historic flight of the spacecraft will take place in February or March.
Starship will be used in 2025 as part of the Artemis III mission to land humans on the moon for the first time since 1972. In the future the same craft will also send the first astronauts to Mars. Although we will have to wait for this for at least two decades.
Now SpaceX is preparing to send a prototype Starship, called Ship 24, into space. It will be launched from the Starbase launch site in Texas. It will use Super Heavy to launch it. If all goes well, it will take over the title of the most powerful rocket from NASA's SLS.
Super Heavy will land on an unmanned offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico. The Ship 24 spacecraft will orbit the Earth once and land near Hawaii.
