SpaceX test fires super heavy booster for Starship rocket

SpaceX completed a new engine-firing test at the launch pad in Texas saying it is a big step closer to sending its giant Starship spacecraft into orbit. <br> <br>Thirty-one of the 33 first-stage booster engines ignited for about 10 seconds. The team turned off one engine before sending the firing command and another engine shut down, ‘but still enough engines to reach orbit!’ tweeted Elon Musk. He estimates Starship's first orbital test flight could occur as soon as March, if testing goes well. <br> <br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br>Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative. <br>Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RTnews <br>Follow us on Telegram: https://t.me/rtnews <br>Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RT_com
