Five Years of Starship Evolution

October 24, 2024

Five years of Starship evolution - from a small module to the world's largest rocket that can land on a tower. The early prototypes of 2019 had one engine with a mass simulator, and they ascended to a height of only 150 m. Now the rocket is performing suborbital flights and complex maneuvers, which no one else is currently able to replicate. In just a couple of years, Starship is intended to be used for sending astronauts to the Moon, and as Musk promises, in 2026 it will also fly to Mars for the first time, but initially in an unmanned mode without a crew.
