'Key milestone completed for flight 2,' SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted shortly after Ship 25 completed a static fire engine test.
with Bloomberg journalist Ashlee Vance on Twitter, Musk explained that Starship could be ready to fly again "in about six weeks."
However, SpaceX will still have to obtain Federal Aviation Authority approval for a second launch attempt, and this could be delayed byWhen Starship does fly again, Ship 25 will launch atop the Super Heavy prototype, Booster 9. As in the first launch of Starship in April, SpaceX aims for Ship 25 to perform a partial orbit around Earth before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii.
The first test flight did achieve several key milestones, though, and it saw the world's most powerful rocket take to the skies for the first time and reach a maximum altitude of 24 miles .Starship generates a massive 16.7 million lbs of thrust at launch, making it more powerful than NASA's Space Launch System , which briefly became the most powerful rocket when it launched the Artemis I mission last year.
Unlike SLS, Starship will be fully reusable, which is part of Musk's plans for driving down the cost of successive launches in order to make human spaceflight to Mars economically feasible.
