At this moment, the SuperHeavy booster can function as a single-use rocket, and boost TONS OF MATERIALS into space. Since the ultimate goal is reusability of the booster and Starship, SpaceX does not announce it as ready. SpaceX never ever stops improving and advancing, but if necessary, someone could hire SpaceX to boost major weight without a guarantee that they could recover and reuse the booster.
Some have commented that the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy are now more reliable than Boeing. Musk has already proved that the current Falcon 9 rocket can be reused 20 times. Musk recently announced a goal of improving it to 40 launches per Falcon 9. The cost of each launch is plummeting.
Watching the thousands of SpaceX employees cheering their own work is so inspiring and hopeful. Young people inspired to reach for the heavens, and actually getting there.
Robert Heinlein is smiling.
I am all in on SpaceX. That makes me proud to see an American company operating like that.
When that Starship lifted off the other day, it actually made my heart beat faster.
I have been intellectually excited about SpaceX for some time, but I think I felt emotionally excited watching that massive thing, bigger, twice as powerful as a Saturn 5 come off the pad.
Astonishing.
