The SpaceX’s Rocket
The most recent iteration of SpaceX’s enormous Super Heavy rocket has been wheeled back to the launch pad.
For testing, which is reportedly taking place right now, the “Booster 7” Super Heavy rocket prototype was transferred to a launch pad at SpaceX’s South Texas facility overnight on Friday, August 5. (Aug. 8). If you wish to watch what’s happening in real-time, go visit NASA Spaceflight’s YouTube stream.
On Saturday, Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, tweeted about the achievement (Aug. 6). He tweeted, “At the launch pad,” and the comment, “I adore the scent of hydraulic fuel in the morning.

Starship’s Structure
Super Heavy, a first-stage booster, and Starship, an upper-stage rocket standing at 165 feet (50 meters), are included in Starship.
The combined height of Starship and Super Heavy, which is 395 feet (120 meters) when completely stacked, makes them the tallest rocket on the entire globe.
For NASA, SpaceX intends to use the stacked system to launch people and cargo to the moon before continuing on to Mars.
However, just a few high-altitude test flights have been accomplished by Starship to date, and the system hasn’t flown since May 2021. Technical and legal challenges have been faced by SpaceX.

The Spacecraft’s Impact
For instance, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAArecently )’s released an environmental assessment that mandates SpaceX to take 75 steps to lessen Starship’s impact on the area, which is a biodiversity hotspot.
Before embarking on its ambitious orbital journey, SpaceX must still obtain a launch license from the FAA, which necessitates that the corporation takes care of all the environmental concerns outlined in the agency evaluation.
