Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, shows off a shiny Starship in landscapes of moon and Mars. SpaceX has begun launch-pad tests of a Starship prototype nicknamed the StarHopper, at the company’s Boca Chica facility in South Texas. SpaceX is targeting the early to mid-2020s for a Starship round-the-moon flight, as well as the start of Mars odysseys. Starhopper is a prototype of Starship, meant to be the upper stage of SpaceX’s next-gen, fully reusable launch vehicle. The vehicle currently being tested is only the lower section, hosting engines, propellant tanks and landing gear.
