The genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist and, concurrently, CEO and chief engineer of SpaceX, Elon Musk, boasted of his new super-heavy rocket Super Heavy, which he shared on Twitter with the installation of it on the launch pad.
The new rocket is the first stage of the Starship reusable space transport system, which is planned to be used for flights to the Moon and Mars. The 70-meter Super Heavy is equipped with 29 Raptor proprietary engines at once. And this is not the limit. The final version of the launch vehicle is planned to be equipped with 32 engines.
The Starship will also include the spacecraft itself, which will receive six more of its own engines. Super Heavy is currently undergoing tightness tests and engine testing. Recall that it was Starship that was chosen by NASA as the lunar lander as part of the American Artemis program.
