The highly anticipated moment has arrived as the green light signals the commencement of the Super Heavy rocket booster's mission. With 33 engines ready to roar to life, the Super Heavy is set to lift the Starship spacecraft from the launchpad.
During the launch, the Super Heavy booster will fire for approximately two minutes and 30 seconds before ceasing operation. Following this, the Super Heavy will autonomously navigate its way back to the ground for a controlled landing. Meanwhile, the Starship spacecraft, positioned atop the Super Heavy, will ignite its own engines in an effort to achieve speeds nearing orbital velocity.
As the Super Heavy attempts to touch down safely on solid ground, the Starship will continue its journey, soaring through the skies for an estimated duration of around one hour. Ultimately, the Starship will make a dramatic splashdown in the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean.
