The Super Heavy-Starship is the centerpiece of SpaceX's drive to develop a fully reusable heavy-lift rocket.

President-elect and SpaceX CEO/newly-minted expected to be looking on.

Trump mentioned the new rocket in a Sept. 21 campaign speech urging Musk to "get those rocket ships going".

The company also launches commercial and military satellites, is building a powerful space tug for NASA to help drive the International Space Station safely out of orbit when the program is retired in 2030 and is launching thousands of its own Starlink satellites to provide global access to the internet. "SpaceX functionally has the monopoly on access to space," said Drier . "Pretty much any asset that you want to launch into space, whether you're the U.S. government or commercial provider, a satellite company, even the European Space Agency , they are all using SpaceX rockets.".
