If you've ever dreamed of humanity becoming a multi-planetary species, then Starship is the rocket that could make it happen. But getting the world's most powerful rocket off the ground and into space is proving to be a much bigger challenge than many expected.
Starship is trending because SpaceX just completed its fourth test flight, achieving major milestones after previous attempts ended in explosions.
The latest flight on June 6, 2024, saw Starship's Super Heavy booster successfully return and soft-land in the Gulf of Mexico, while the Starship upper stage survived re-entry and splashed down in the Indian Ocean.
