SPACEX readies for the most important launch in history


Listen Later

In this episode, we will be discussing the journey of SpaceX Super Heavy B7, a steel rocket built by SpaceX. The 69-meter-tall, 9-meter-wide rocket  has undergone continuous testing, repairs, upgrades, and more testing over the past nine months. Despite facing severe damages in April and July, requiring weeks of substantial repairs, the Starship booster has not been permanently crippled and testing has been cautious but largely successful. 

On January 8th, 2023, Super Heavy B7 was rolled back to the orbital launch site (OLS). According to statements made by CEO Elon Musk , the last major standalone test between Booster 7 and flight readiness is a full 33-engine static fire. Together, B7's 33 Raptor 2 engines could produce up to 7600 tons (16.7 million lbf) of thrust at sea level, making it the most powerful rocket stage in the history of spaceflight. Tune in as we follow the journey of Super Heavy B7 and Ship 24 and updates on SpaceX's progress.
