Heeere we goooo. Fingers toes and eyes crossed for a successful test flight of the 33-Raptor engine Superheavy booster and Starship first time into space. Both vehicles are planned to splash down...the booster in the Gulf of Mexico and Starship off of Hawaii.

OH! Just for perspective...The Saturn 5 rocket that went to the moon produced 7.6 million pounds of thrust. The Superheavy produces 17.1 million pounds of thrust.

Interesting and away they'll go. It's amazing the changes or
innovations that have been accomplished in the last century.

I thought they were launching from Cape Canaveral like the Falcon, but they have their own spaceport in Boca Chica, Texas for this

I don’t think this one is the super heavy. This one needs 31 on those cute little engines instead of just 5 for the Saturn.
