Spaceship: The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is preparing to make history with space travel. His own company SpaceX is preparing to launch the largest spacecraft ever. This particular vehicle of his was called the Starship. Preparations are underway for the start on Sunday. Elon Musk himself provided information through a tweet on X. SpaceX released the latest update on Starship and shared its photo. The accompanying headline reads: “Starship is ready for its fifth flight test.” We are waiting for regulatory approval in time to fly on October 13th.
Musk reposted SpaceX’s post, writing: “Looks like Starship is flying on Sunday!” It is the largest and most powerful flying object ever built and will fly at more than twice the speed of the Saturn V moon rocket . We’ll try to catch it with “mechazilla arms” like giant sticks (like Karate Kid) when we get back to the starting point!”
Looks like Starship is flying on Sunday!
This is the largest and most powerful flying object ever built, with more than twice the thrust of the Saturn V moon rocket.
We’ll try to catch it as it returns to the launch site, using the Mechazilla arms like giant chopsticks (like Karate Kid)! https://t.co/8g7mLaTCRK
