The most powerful rocket in human history could launch as early as 9:00 a.m. ET on Monday, and you can catch the action live right here.
The plan for the first orbital flight test is for the first stage Super Heavy to fall into the Gulf of Mexico and for the upper stage Starship spacecraft to splash down around 62 miles northwest of Kauai, Hawaii. The upper stage won’t complete a full orbit of Earth, with the mission lasting no longer than roughly 90 minutes.
Elon Musk’s private space company is designing Starship to launch cargo and passengers to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and possibly other celestial destinations. And as a government-funded endeavor, NASA is hoping to leverage Starship as a means to land astronauts on the Moon. And as a fully reusable rocket with so much power and payload capacity, Starship stands to severely disrupt the spaceflight industry. This rocket—without exaggeration—is a huge deal.be a huge deal someday.
