SpaceX's Starship rocket — the most powerful in the world — may finally take to the skies for the fourth time as soon as next month, according to CEO Elon Musk."Objective is for the ship to get past max heating or at least further than last time," he added, alluding to the vehicle's failure to survive the scorching hot conditions of reentry during its previous test.
Starship is a reusable two-stage launch vehicle, comprising an enormous Super Heavy booster and the actual spacecraft itself, which is just called Starship. Fully stacked, the entire system is nearly 400 feet tall, making it the largest rocket ever built. That staggering scale affords a greater payload capacity that, along with the rocket's reusability, is intended to drive down launch costs in the long run.
That may be a sign of renewed optimism over Starship's future at the space company. Be that as it may, it's unclear if potential successes with Flight 4 will be enough to cement the rocket's bona fides. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled.
