SpaceX's Super Heavy rocket booster landed on the mudflats of South Texas a little more than a week ago.

SpaceX is developing a human-rated version of Starship to land astronauts on the Moon.

SpaceX must launch numerous Starship tankers over the course of a few weeks to a few months to refuel the Moon -bound lander.
