SpaceX Teases Starship Launch With Updated Mars Mission Video

Elon Musk‘s SpaceX has uploaded a new video on its Starship mission to Mars.

What Happened: The 5-minute-long animation video posted on Monday follows the journey of the Starship from Earth to space to stage separation and further to the red planet.

Quite similar to the older video, the new version offers better colors and graphics, noted Sawyer Merritt, a Tesla investor and co-founder of sustainable lifestyle clothing startup TwinBirch.

SpaceX and its CEO Elon Musk have been teasing Starship‘s first launch attempt, likely next week.

"Starship is ready for launch. Awaiting regulatory approval," Musk said on Twitter on Sunday, days after SpaceX flagged that the team is working towards a launch "rehearsal" this week.

SpaceX said Starship’s first integrated flight test could be the week after if regulators give their approval.

SpaceX's Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket – collectively referred to as Starship- is a fully reusable transportation system aimed at carrying both crew and cargo to "Earth's orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond."
