Starship Booster stacked this week

Probably Thursday or Friday our time Elon Musk will do a live presentation from Boca Chica and show off to the world his fully stacked Starship in preparation for its maiden suborbital flight shortly after ( possibly up to a week later )
This behemoth is nearly 400 feet high and will have a lift off thrust of over twice that of the Saturn 5 (16 million pounds or the equivalent at sea level of nearly 320 million horsepower)
This event marks the start of possibly our future journey back to the Moon , to Mars and beyond.
If Space X can pull off this first test flight then our dreams of getting back to the Moon by 2025 will become a possibility not a dream. Mars by 2035 is still a dream IMO but who knows , the pace at which Space X is developing, testing and performing successful missions is staggering

Comments welcome........

Thanks for the reminder Martin. Hopefully the EPA will not hold things io any further, if not Elon will need to discuss Plan B? There has to be a Plan B.
