🇺🇸WORLD’S BIGGEST ROCKET TO TAKE FLIGHT: SPACEX STARSHIP FLIGHT 7 SET FOR JAN. 13

SpaceX’s 400-foot-tall stainless steel skyscraper is locked and loaded at Starbase, TX.

Dubbed Starship Flight 7, this beast is gearing up for its next act—like if Godzilla joined Cirque du Soleil.

This time, the rocket’s packing serious upgrades: tweaked avionics, a beefed-up heat shield, and smaller forward flaps to keep things cool during reentry.

Oh, and it’s hauling fake Starlink satellites to prove it can juggle payloads in orbit.

1 of the 33 Super Heavy engines is even reused—for the first time ever.

The pièce de résistance? SpaceX plans to catch the booster mid-air using its giant “chopstick” arms again.

If it works, it’ll be like catching a flying skyscraper with salad tongs.

If it doesn’t? Gulf of Mexico… er Gulf of America… gets a visitor.

This is one of 25 (!) Starship launches planned for 2025, with
@elonmusk
is eyeing Mars flights by 2026 and NASA relying on it for lunar landings.
