The Super Heavy rocket is the largest, most powerful rocket in the world with twice the power of NASA 's Saturn 5.
It's designed to be fully reusable, with the Super Heavy flying itself back to its launch pad while the Starship travels to and from Earth orbit, the moon, or, eventually, Mars .
The rocket is designed to touch down vertically on its own rocket power at landing sites on Earth and beyond.
Sunday 's test flight appeared to go smoothly.
Multiple flights will be needed to perfect the system and demonstrate reliability.
NASA hopes to send the first woman and the next man to the moon in the 2027-28 timeframe.
Rapid reusability is a key element of the program given the number of Super Heavy-Starships required.
