Starship, SpaceX’s most ambitious spacecraft, was designed with the goal of taking humans to Mars and beyond. Made of stainless steel, it stands 120 meters tall and can carry up to 100 passengers. Its reusable design makes it more cost-effective, with the ability to return to Earth and relaunch multiple times. Starship’s powerful engines will allow it to travel long distances, reaching the Moon, Mars, and even deeper into space.
