SpaceX test fires Starship prototype rocket in Texas

“All systems green,” he added.

SpaceX is in the early stages of developing its Starship rocket. Starship, with an enormous booster called “Super Heavy,” is being built to transport up to 100 people to the moon, Mars and more.

Designed to be a fully reusable launch system, the “hopper” version of Starship is key to proving the design and mechanics of a rocket that will unlock Musk’s vision of making spaceflight more like air travel.

First they send 10 people on mars and moon ,then think of 100 people,it seem it is only meant for attracting more funds of investors and more like showoff .It has risk of failure due to indian space junk resulting from antisatellite missile test
