World's Best Rocket Launching Soon; Elon Musk Shares Extraordinary Footage of SpaceX Starship [WATCH]

SpaceX will soon be deploying Starship, which is arguably the world's best rocket to date.

Starship Launching Soon

The famous Tesla, Twitter, and SpaceX CEO has shared a video about SpaceX's latest rocket, the Starship, that is set to be deployed soon. He captioned it in a tweet, stating that the ship is preparing to be launched.

As per the First Post, the Starship is the "most powerful rocket ever made." It also plans to bring humans all the way to the red planet. It will also be part of NASA's Artemis missions, which aim to bring humans back to the moon.

MailOnline notes that the entire ship is worth a staggering $3 billion. It is also around 395 feet high.

The rocket will soon be embarking on its first ever orbital journey. As per Bloomberg, the starship's first space test may happen within next week. In fact, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notes that the rocket will launch from the SpaceX center in Boca Chica, Texas, by April 10, with April 11 and 12 being the backup dates. However, SpaceX is still waiting for the launch permit, which they think will be granted by Monday.

An anonymous source, who was reportedly familiar with the process, leaked the rumored Monday launch. This source warned that, though the licensing procedures were reaching their end, further assessments on environmental safety may extend them.

Elon Musk has issued a warning that there is a 50% chance that the rocket may explode during its launch. This iconic flight will serve as a great milestone in the Tesla CEO's goal to bring people and cargo to Mars and the Moon and make humans a "multiplanetary" race.

SpaceX's Impressive Starship

The First Post adds that SpaceX plans to bring people into the deep cosmos through a two-stage spaceship made from the reusable Starship and the Super Heavy rocket booster. Mixed together, both are around 394 feet tall and 5 million kilograms heavy.

The impressive Starship of SpaceX can reportedly produce around 70 meganewtons of power. This is almost double the capacity of NASA's new-generation Space Launch System (SLS).

Tests on various Starship versions have been running for years. SpaceX did so by deploying and recovering these crafts in the air. To some extent, the launches were successful. Others ended up bursting while others remained unharmed until their return.

Elon Musk originally expected that the Starship would enter orbit by 2022. However, up until now, the rocket still needs to undergo massive orbital tests.

Briefly after the rocket's deployment, the Super Heavy booster will end up separating and gently settling inside the water around 20 miles off the California coasts. The starship, on the other hand, will keep flying with its ground track, which is the earth route that is right under it. The craft will then gently land in the Pacific Ocean, around 60 miles northwest of Kauai.

The First Post adds that this mission may last for only 90 minutes. If this test is proven successful, SpaceX will then focus on deploying cargo and vital satellites on the Starship.
