About this episode
The episode discusses the upcoming launch of the Starship Mark III and its significance for SpaceX's lunar missions.
The Beast keeps getting Beaslier! We’re about a week away from the 12th test flight for the Starship program, but this will be the first launch of what appears to be the final configuration: Starship Mark III atop the new SuperHeavy booster and the first launch from Pad 2. It’s been SEVEN MONTHS since the last flight — an eternity for SpaceX. Is this the configuration that will get us back to the surface of the moon?
