SpaceX's Starship, the largest rocket in the world, will get even bigger as the company continues to target Mars missions in the future.will eventually be as tall as 500 feet , roughly 20 percent higher than the massive system aboard the Super Heavy rocket right now.
SpaceX is by far the most active launching entity on Earth, and Musk forecasts the company will send roughly 90 percent of orbital mass aloft this year compared to China's 6 percent Musk also wants to perform two splashdowns of the upper stage of Starship in a row, in a controlled fashion, before sending it to Starbase on a future flight."We do not want to rain debris over Mexico or the U.S.," he said."My guess is probably next year when we will be able to reuse Starship."
Overall, Musk plans for multiple Starship launches to take place this year, and suggests SpaceX will build an additional six spacecraft by the end of 2024. A new rocket factory for the company should be available in 2025, which would make production even faster.
