Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, has stated that he would provide an update on his company's next-generation Starship rocket on Thursday evening. Musk's latest update on the car was in 2019, which was more than two years ago.
For the past three years, SpaceX has been constructing Starship, a giant new deep-space rocket at the company's test facility in Boca Chica, Texas. The Verge said the fully reusable vehicle would launch on top of a massive booster known as Super Heavy. It carries people and cargo to far-flung locations such as the Moon and, eventually, Mars.
SpaceX has flown Starship to space on a few high-altitude test flights thus far but has yet to put it into orbit. The Federal Aviation Administration has given the corporation permission to launch Starship into orbit from Boca Chica.
Elon Musk Reveals SpaceX Presentation on Starbase, Texas
Musk announced that the Starship and its Full Stack companion, the Super Heavy Booster rocket, will be shown in a SpaceX presentation. The event will take place next Thursday, February 10, at 8 pm Texas time (9 pm ET).
It's unclear whether SpaceX and Musk will broadcast it live, especially because this display will focus solely on the Starship and not its flight.

After SpaceX successfully launched the Falcon 9 to commemorate a milestone for the older rocket, Elon Musk talked too much about the details. During the meeting, the CEO and billionaire said in another tweet that the Starship will outperform the Falcon 9. He added that the rocket would be the "holy grail of rocketry" once operational, citing its reusability as a key feature.

The Starship's unique characteristics and functions make it a vital spaceship for the Mars expedition since it is required to construct a "self-sustaining metropolis" on Mars. Furthermore, Musk emphasized multi-planetary life, which would only be conceivable with the Starship and its upcoming missions, emphasizing the ship's journey to Mars.
Starship aspires to be the first fully reusable orbital launch vehicle, the holy grail of rocketry.
This is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 3, 2022
SpaceX Starship's Awaiting Test Flight
For its upcoming test flights on Starbase Texas, SpaceX's Starship awaited environmental license deliberation and approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Residents of Boca Chica and other concerned citizens were asked for their authorization before SpaceX could continue with its flights and missions for the Starship.
Elon Musk and SpaceX discussed an environmental review that the FAA will perform in the second half of 2022, which included public input. People had conflicting feelings about the review, which made it difficult for the FAA to provide SpaceX the necessary license and authority to test the Full Stack.
Instead of completing the examination by December 31, 2021, Science Times said the FAA postponed the licensing until February. According to the firm, the launch will take place shortly, and SpaceX will display the Starship to the public.
