SpaceX is eyeing March for the first launch of its next-generation rocket, though CEO ElonMusk admitted that the mission's success is far from guaranteed.
SpaceX chief Elon Musk says the company’s next-generation Super Heavy rocket and Starship spacecraft is on course for a March launch.
The test will involve launching the vehicle — collectively known as Starship — from SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, on its maiden orbital flight. While future missions envisage both the rocket and spacecraft landing at the end of a flight so that they can be used in additional missions, for the upcoming test both sections will come down in the Pacific Ocean.
But as Musk also noted, testing a new rocket for the first time is a huge challenge. While a failure at launch or in flight would be a setback for SpaceX, such missions are designed to provide data and surface issues, giving engineers the chance to perfect the system ahead of a cargo-carrying mission to the moon.
