Agency
SpaceX
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
Will SpaceX try to catch the superheavy booster this time using the “chopsticks?” That would be the next milestone in the testing program for the largest flying object ever created by man.
What are odds of actually launching in August at Boca Chica
SPACE TECHNOLOLGY AT ITS VERY BEST.
Go SpaceX Starship
Have a safe flight .good luck. Starship.
Go SpaceX go Starship!. I hope we make it to mars by next year and I also hope the starship does not explode like the first lanuch
We will not make it to mars next year we need to go to the moon first and god knows when that will happen based on NASA’s current schedule for the SLS
The FAA moved Starship launch date to late Nov.2024.
