SpaceX rolled Starship's huge first-stage booster, known as Super Heavy, out to the pad at its Starbase site in South Texas today (Nov. 14). The company documented the move via X, in a post that included three photos. One of those images shows Super Heavy atop Starbase's orbital launch mount, with the vehicle's 165-foot-tall (50 meters) upper stage, known as Starship or simply "Ship," sitting nearby. Ship made the trip to the pad on Tuesday (Nov. 12). SpaceX's sixth Starship Super Heavy booster heads toward the orbital launch mount at the company's Starbase site in South Texas on Nov. 14, 2024.

This will create a nearly 400-foot-tall (122-meter-tall) behemoth, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built.
