SpaceX Aims for the Moon and Mars
This launch was a big step toward SpaceX’s future goals. The company wants to build reusable rockets. Eventually, it plans to send humans to the Moon, Mars, and even deeper into space.
Flight 9 Uses Booster for Second Time
The mission, named Starship Flight 9, used the Super Heavy booster and Ship 35.
Previously, the booster flew during Flight 7 earlier this year. Now, with its second use, SpaceX moves closer to building a fully reusable space system.
