Elon Musk's space vehicle, the Starship, is a massive rocket designed and built by SpaceX for both orbital and deep-space missions. It consists of two components: the Starship spacecraft, which sits atop the Super Heavy booster during launch, and is designed to carry passengers or cargo to the Moon, Mars or beyond, and the Super Heavy booster, which provides the thrust to send the Starship into space. The Starship is designed to be fully reusable and is made primarily of stainless steel, which SpaceX believes will help reduce costs and make spaceflight more accessible. The recent FAA approval would allow SpaceX to conduct an orbital test launch of the massive rocket within the coming weeks, pending final regulatory approval.
