SpaceX is working on upgrades to the launch pad for the next test flight of the world's largest rocket.

The company plans to try to catch the rocket's first -stage booster on the next flight.

This will be the first time SpaceX will try to bring the stainless-steel Super Heavy booster, as long as and wider than a Boeing 747 jumbo jet, back to a landing on land.

All these sites will allow SpaceX to launch Starships more often. The company is also finishing a sprawling factory near the Starship factory in South Texas , just a couple of miles inland from the launch pads there..
