Boca Chica, TX...SpaceX successfully completed its 4th test of the Starship system. The Super Heavy Booster completed its mission including a controlled soft landing in the Gulf. The test Starship reached space, reentered and had a controlled splash down in the Indian Ocean. Once the Starship system reaches operational levels it promises to be a game changer in launch capabilities. It will lower the cost of getting objects into space by a factor of 50 to 80 times. It could also possibly in the future be used to move payload and people anywhere on the planet in an hour or so. The human capacity of Starship is expected to be about 100 people. In theory if multiple launch facilities are built you could send 100 people anywhere on the planet within hours.
