Epic Progress: SpaceX’s “Flight-Proven” Super Heavy Booster Ready for Reflight?

3 April 2025

SpaceX has achieved a milestone by igniting a "flight-proven" Super Heavy Booster, named Booster 14, in the Texas desert. The Super Heavy booster, equipped with 33 Raptor engines, delivers nearly 17 million pounds of thrust, setting new standards in rocket reusability. Despite engineering successes, challenges remain with the Starship's upper stage, highlighting ongoing developmental hurdles. The test underscores SpaceX's progress with seven successful launches since Starship's debut flight and three Super Heavy landings in four attempts. Inspirations drawn from Falcon 9's reusability success, which has seen 426 landings and its first reused flight in 2017, pave the way for future missions. The potential launch of Booster 14 could mark a significant advancement as SpaceX aims ...
