This is necessary for its Mars missions since the rocket's ability to carry tonnage significantly drops for them when compared to journeys to nearby destinations such as the International Space Station (ISS).

While there are little updates on the licensing front, SpaceX has picked up the pace once again with its Starship rocket development in Texas. The firm has shipped its rockets to the launch pad, and footage from local media shows that it has also stacked the massive
