SpaceX’s Most Awaited Starship Orbital Stack Will Be Ready for Flight in Few Weeks

SpaceX founder Elon Musk in a recent announcement, has stated that the first orbital stack of the Starship rocket will be ready to take off in the coming weeks; it will be taking the unorthodox billionaire Elon Musk a step closer to his dream of orbital and then interplanetary travel. SpaceX recently landed its Starship prototype, SN15, a reusable heavy-lift launch vehicle successfully. It will eventually carry astronauts and large cargo payloads to the moon and Mars very soon.

SpaceX has said that the complete Starship rocket and its launch vehicle stand 394 feet (120 meters) tall when it is coupled with its super-heavy first-stage booster. The launch vehicle is at the center of the Tesla Inc. CEO's ambitions to make human space travel more affordable and routine.

"First orbital stack of Starship should be ready for flight in a few weeks, pending only regulatory approval," Musk tweeted. Also, a new orbital Starship flight is being designed, and it is planned for the year's end. Musk has stated that he intends to fly Japanese billionaire entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa around the moon in the Starship in 2023.
