SpaceX Mk-1

SpaceX has been developing its 100-passenger"Starship" for years, the vehicle that will help humans colonize Mars. The first small prototype, Starhopper, was a stubby version used for testing purposes and retired in August. More prototypes (Mk-2, Mk-3, Mk-4) will follow.

Last Saturday Elon Musk revealed the very first full-size (165 feet tall) Starship prototype, Mk-1. Its test mission will be an uncrewed launch within two months, reaching about twelve vertical miles.

Elon's comment: "This is the most inspiring thing that I've ever seen."
