SpaceX launched the largest rocket in history Starship V3.
Humanity launched the biggest rocket in history
The biggest rocket in human history was launched tonight by SpaceX — it is literally a megarocket the size of a 40‑story building. The rocket took off for the first time from a new launch site at the spaceport in Texas, USA.
124‑meter Starship V3 is a rocket as tall as a 40‑story building and has a thrust of almost 8,000 tons. It is more powerful than the legendary Saturn V that carried people to the Moon, and the newest lunar rocket NASA SLS — it features the Super Heavy booster with 39 next‑generation Raptor engines.
The rocket is being built with colonization of Mars — already now the ship can deliver up to 100 tons of cargo — from equipment to colonists.
The main problem — returning back is still almost impossible. If humanity can already reach Mars, lifting the rocket from the planet’s surface and sending it back — not yet.
That is why SpaceX is betting on methane. Theoretically it can be produced directly on Mars from water and carbon dioxide. In the future, robots may be sent there first — to build factories and prepare fuel for people.
