The goal is to have Starship take off from the company's testing facilities in Boca Chica, Texas, fly on between the Florida Straits, before making a "powered, targeted landing" roughly 62 miles off the coast of Hawaii. Booster 7 will attempt to make its own "partial return and land in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 20 miles from the shore."last week, which is capable of hoisting both Booster and Starship onto the company's launch platform.
All the various parts are finally coming together. If all goes according to plan, SpaceX may just have a shot at turning the orbital launch industry on its head. With Starship's considerable scale, the company's capacity to send anything from Starlink satellites to astronauts into space could be changed forever — but first, it'll have to successfully get Starship off the ground.
