Thread: SpaceX - On to Mars

2 photos of the latest Starship stacking. Hope that SpaceX will get the launch license soon.



A view of the engine bay from below. Always a special treat. It shows the sea level and the vacuum engines. Falcon 9 Merlin has sea level and vac engines too, but they are quite different in design. For the Starship Raptor engine they succeeded in keeping the 2 types almost fully the same, except for the large nozzle. New version of Starship will have 9 engines, instead of the present 6. It will be 6 Raptor vac and 3 sea level engines.
