SpaceX Starship 25 and Super Heavy booster 9 launched to orbit on Nov. 18, 2023 from the Starbase facility in South Texas. Following the launch, the booster had a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly (RUD) shortly after separation. Full Story: https://www.space.com/spacexstarship...

Starship consists of a firststage booster called Super Heavy and an upperstage spacecraft known (a bit confusingly) as Starship. Both of these elements are designed to be fully and rapidly reusable. SpaceX thinks the vehicle will make the settlement of Mars — a longheld dream of company founder and CEO Elon Musk — economically feasible in the nottoodistant future.

When fully stacked, Starship stands nearly 400 feet (122 meters) tall. It's the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built.
