SpaceX fuel
The fuel of the SpaceX rocket was as follows: The white vortex formed during the launch of the SpaceX rocket was related to fuel. The super-heavy thrusters and the final stage of the interstellar spacecraft were made of steel. When the fuel tank was filled with fuel, the amount of propellant would appear in the form of frost on the outside. This was a key indicator of the preparation work before flight. The first-generation interstellar spacecraft had a propellent capacity of 1200 tons, and the second-generation interstellar spacecraft's final tank was filled with more propellants than the first-generation spacecraft. After analysis, the newer spacecraft might be able to carry 1.5 times more propellants than the previous generation spacecraft. In addition, SpaceX may drill natural gas in Texas as a power fuel to launch its new Starship.

SpaceX2021 launch
In 2021, SpaceX launched several missions. Among them, the SpaceX Crew - 2 mission was launched on April 23,2021 (Eastern Time) on the Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, sending four astronauts to the International Space Station for a six-month mission. On February 14, 2021, NASA announced that two astronauts on the SpaceX Crew - 4 mission would head to the International Space Station. The Crew - 4 mission was scheduled to launch in 2022. In addition, on May 5,2021, SpaceX conducted a test flight of the prototype rocket, the SSN15, in Texas, and achieved a successful landing for the first time.

SpaceX launch update
SpaceX plans to conduct the sixth flight test mission of the Starship as early as 16:00 Central Time on November 18, 2024 (6:00 Beijing time the next day). SpaceX's Starbase operations director revealed that the super-heavy rocket/starship spacecraft was scheduled to be launched 25 times next year (2025). If the flight was successful, it was planned to complete the recovery of the starship spacecraft within six months. In the last (fifth) test, SpaceX successfully "clamped" the super-heavy thruster with the "chopsticks" robotic arm, and the upper stage of the starship performed a controlled splash in the Indian Ocean. The next test would repeat these steps and continue to test the superior thermal protection system and re-entry maneuverability.

SpaceX Interstellar Spaceship
The SpaceX spacecraft had a diameter of 9 meters, a height of 50 meters, and a total height of 120 meters (including super-heavy boosters). It was the tallest and heaviest rocket in the world, with a total weight of 5000 tons (including super-heavy boosters weighing 3600 tons and starships weighing 1300 tons). It could send at least 150 tons of payloads into Earth orbit.

SpaceX starship size
The starship's entire system was composed of two parts, a total height of 120 meters and a diameter of 9 meters. The first-stage "super heavy" thruster was about 69 meters tall, and the second-stage starship had a diameter of 9 meters and a length of 50 meters. The total weight of the starship was 5000 tons, of which the super-heavy thrusters weighed 3600 tons and the starship weighed 1300 tons. In terms of volume, the early design model of the starship HLS was two stories high, with a ceiling height of about 12.19 meters, and could accommodate 20 astronauts.

SpaceX starship parameters
The entire starship system was made up of two parts.
** 1. size **
1. [Total System: 120 meters high, 9 meters in diameter, equivalent to a 40-story building.]
2. Among them, the super heavy thrust (first-stage rocket) was about 70 meters tall, and the starship itself (second-stage rocket) was 50 meters long.
** 2. Engine and thrust **
1. First-stage rocket (Super Heavy Booster): 33 second-generation Raptor engines, each capable of generating 230 tons of thrust, with a total take-off thrust of 7590 tons. Of the 33 Raptor engines, 13 of the inner rings could be swung to control the flight attitude, while the 20 of the outer rings were fixed.
2. [Two-stage rocket (Starship Spaceship): 6 Raptor engines installed, 3 of which are sea-level versions (230 tons thrust) and 3 are vacuum versions (258 tons thrust).]
** 3. Transport capacity **
1. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) capacity:
- In the case of full ship recycling (which requires the consumption of return fuel), it can reach 100 - 150 tons.
- Without recycling, it could reach 250 tons.
2. [Martian transport capacity: 150 tons after orbital refuelling.]
** 4. In terms of propellants **
A total of 4600 tons of propellants were needed, of which 1200 tons were needed for the starship and 3400 tons were needed for the super heavy thrust. The fuel was composed of liquid oxygen and liquid methane, with a ratio of about 3.55:1 (that is, 3.55 tons of liquid oxygen was needed for every ton of liquid methane).
** 5. Quality **
1. The take-off mass of the entire system was 5000 tons.
2. It has a carrying capacity of 100 tons and can send 100 people to the Moon, Mars, or other distant destinations, or fly around the Earth.

SpaceX launch record
SpaceX's starship launch record was as follows:
- In April 2023, the starship underwent its first test flight. It lost control during the lift off and then exploded in midair.
- On November 18th, 2023, the starship launched for the second time. This was an orbital-level test mission. After the rocket was launched, the first and second stages were successfully separated. The super-heavy thruster disintegrated in the air. The original plan of the super-heavy thruster ocean controlled splash landing was unsuccessful, and the starship continued to fly into space. About nine minutes after the launch, although the mission was not completely successful, it was an improvement from the first time.
- In March 2024, the starship carried out its third test flight. The second stage was detected to be flying in an abnormal trajectory and the signal was lost. In the end, the test flight was ended early. The first stage of the starship fell into the sea early due to insufficient flight speed and did not reach the target Indian Ocean.
- On June 6, 2024, the fourth test flight was carried out. The starship successfully completed the controlled re-entry mission. The super-heavy thrusters and the starship persisted until they landed on the sea surface, but unfortunately, they did not achieve recovery and capture.
- At 8:25 p. m. on October 13th, 2024, the starship carried out its fifth launch test mission. The launch site was at the interstellar base in southern Texas. In this mission, the rocket broke through the maximum dynamic pressure point at 1 minute and 05 seconds after launch, and the super-heavy thruster completed the landing ignition at 6 minutes and 33 seconds and was successfully captured by the launch pad.
- On November 18, 2024 (the earliest scheduled launch time), the starship would carry out its sixth flight test mission.
