SpaceX has moved on to prepare for the sixth test flight of Starship just a few days after the immensely successful flight 5. On October 13, it caught the 400-feet-tall rocket's Super Heavy Booster using the 'Mechazilla' tower, creating history in the very first attempt.
Fast forward a week, SpaceX rolled out another Booster to conduct tests for the sixth mission.

"Flight 6 Super Heavy booster moved to the Starbase pad for testing. The move comes just one week after returning the first booster caught following launch," SpaceX shared on X.
The 232-feet-tall, as SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says is the largest flying object with an incredible thrust capacity of 7,590 tonne-force thanks to the 33 Raptor engines. It is topped with a second stage Starship which stands 165 feet tall and is equipped with six engines.
