Starship in 2025 will be used inas part of the Artemis III mission for the first human landing on the moon since 1972. In the future, the same device will send the first astronauts to Mars. Although it will have to wait at least another two decades.
Now SpaceX is preparing to send into spacea Starship prototype called Ship 24. It launches from Starbase in Texas. It will use Super Heavy to launch. If everything goes well, she will take the title of the most powerful rocket from NASA SLS.
Super Heavy splashes down on an unmanned offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico. The Ship 24 spacecraft will circle the Earth once and land near the Hawaiian Islands.
