Spacex has been throwing and landing rockets successfully for half a decade now, but his famous Falcon 9 is just a step in his great plans. The company of Elon Musk wants to make deep space travel to the moon and beyond becoming more economical, and that will require much larger and more powerful rockets than the company’s own hawk. That role will be filled by the Spacex spacecraft, and the company approached a small step closer to that final goal with the successful proof of what will eventually be the super heavy reflex.

The Super Heavy Booster is the first stage of the STARSHIP system that will eventually bring humans to the moon again, at least through the commercial program of Spacex. Larger and heavier than anything space has been released so far, even a small static fire test can go wrong horribly. Fortunately, everything went according to the plan.

Spacex and Elon Musk tweeted the successful Static Fire Test of the Super Heavy Booster 3 designed for the STARSHIP spacecraft. It is only the first step and one small, but you must provide sufficient data for future tests. More importantly, the test included only three Raptor engines, one tenth of what finally plans for the first Royal Starship trip.

Spacex plans to test nine raptor engines first in the booster 3 before moving to the Booster 4 test, which would be the first super heavy reinforcement to carry out a spacecraft. The ultimate goal is to have more than 30 motors pushing all the backspaces into space. If that sounds excessive, the heavy Falcon already uses 27 motors for its first stage reinforcement compared.

Unlike the rivals, Branson and Bezos, Musk is not in a hurry for the completion of Starx Starship dreams. The objective, after all, is more ambitious than space tourism, and everything will depend on how successful and certainly the spacecraft can lead humans into space and then return to Earth, to be reused by another launch.
