The AchieVer Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Elon Musk confirms SpaceX is building multiple Starships He tweets that the company is building them at different sites to see if one is better than the other. Elon Musk says that SpaceX is building Starships at two sites. Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty Images It turns out that SpaceX is working on not one, but two Starships at the same time. "SpaceX is doing simultaneous competing builds of Starship in Boca Chica Texas & Cape Canaveral Florida," SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet Tuesday. Musk then answered a few questions on Twitter, saying that the competition will help SpaceX figure out which location is better for building -- and that the answer might be both. In November, Musk changed the name of its Big Falcon Rocket to Starship. Meanwhile, SpaceX is working on its Starlink mission to bring broadband to the world, starting with the launch of 60 satellites into orbit. The launch, which was rescheduled because of high winds Wednesday, is supposed to take place Thursday. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
