SpaceX boss Elon Musk has said that after a series of tests and the installation of a more robust launchpad, the mighty Starship rocket is ready to fly again.
Following a series of recent engine tests, SpaceX chief Elon Musk has declared the mighty Starship rocket ready for launch … but first there’s the small matter of obtaining clearance from the Federal Aviation Administration .
The Super Heavy — most powerful rocket ever made — took its maiden flight in April, but a technical issue just a few minutes into the test mission prompted SpaceX engineers to perform a controlled explosion on the rocket that brought the flight to an abrupt end. To overcome the issue, SpaceX engineers have designed and tested a water-cooled flame deflector, a water-deluge system made of steel that’s capable of handling the immense heat and force generated by the rocket as it leaves the launchpad.
