This Is What A SpaceX Starship Launch Will Look Like
A new SpaceX video shows what Elon Musk's vision for a Starship launch would look like. Spacecraft that will explore the Sun, Moon, Saturn, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, the outer borders of the solar system, and beyond take decades to develop. In this way, space is unlike any other field. It takes lots of time, hard work, a fixed objective, and considerable patience.
With the Falcon 9, SpaceX has positioned itself as a company that offers one of the safest, cheapest, and most efficient rocket launchers. Recently, the Falcon 9 topped historical ranks for successful flights with more than 113 in a row. Falcon 9 has safely landed hundreds of times and is reusable. However, Musk did not build SpaceX to launch the Falcon 9.

Years ago Musk shared a vision of making life interplanetary. In 2022, that vision remain the same, and a new animated video shows exactly what it might be like. The company's flagship Starship spacecraft could begin orbital test flights as early as March, pending FAA approval. The Starship has already done 150-meter hop tests and successfully nailed a high-altitude flight and safe landing. Now SpaceX is stacking up the necessary Starship rocket stages it needs to reach orbit. Starship is already expected to be used to return humans to the Moon as part of the NASA Artemis Mission, the first civilian Moon orbit. Of course, missions to Mars are also on the to-do list as well.
To make life multi-planetary, Musk says a spacecraft like Starship is needed. According to Musk, and many agree, it is “the holy grail” of rocketry, a rapid and reusable rocket system. The rockets that take the Starship into orbit can launch, land, refuel, and launch again in one
