The first launch of Ilona Mask megaroase: a known date when Starship will fly into space (video)

Subscribe not to miss the latest and most intrusive news from the world of science! On Monday, April 10, the founder and CEO of SpaceX, Ilon Musk, reported that there were less than two weeks left at the top of the latest rocket launcher and spacecraft at its top. According to a mask, the start of the megaroade, which has never visited space, should take place at the end of the third week of April this year.

Musk did not voice the specific date, but it is possible, as Space writes, that one of the most important days in SpaceX's history can be April 20, 2023. The fact is that this day can be marked as 4/20, and this numerical designation is used by cannabis lovers (and musk probably belongs to them) to indicate the time of consumption of this substance. Musk often jokes on Twitter on this and clearly hinted at this date in his account last week.

In fact, SpaceX has been preparing for the first Starship rocket, which has already been tolerated for several months. But the last few weeks, Texas company preparatory work has accelerated significantly. For example, last week, SpaceX experts have fully collected two stages of the Starship rocket, installed it on the launching ground for launching space.

That is, this is confirmed by the fact that Ilon Mask's company came out for the final preparation and maybe the launch will really happen at the end of next week and may even be April 20. The reusable surprise rocket launcher consists of two parts: it is important to understand that the first historical launch into space of SpaceX megaroade will occur using two-degree prototypes.

The first degree, that is, a rocket-carrier is called Booster 7, and the second degree, that is, a spacecraft, is called Ship 24. But that does not mean that this rocket is somewhat different from the finished version, it is simply collected for the first test flight. The Starship rocket is designed to deliver people and cargoes a month, Mars and even other planets and satellites of the solar system.

Ilon Musk believes that his brainchild, and this rocket can be used many times, will lead to a real revolution in space flights. Focus has already written that in February this year, SpaceX checked the performance of the Starship rocket. Focus also wrote that Starship would send a unique moon there during the first flight for a month. We remind that in the fall of next year there will be a historic space mission. For the first time since 1972, 4 astronauts will fly on the spacecraft.
