    A rocket launches, surrounded by clouds of smoke and fire, against a backdrop of cloudy skies.
    A prototype Starship upper stage lifts off on a test flight in May at SpaceX's Texas site, reaching an altitude of 10 kilometers and landing without incident. For flights to the moon and other deep space destinations, a Starship upper stage would launch atop a Super Heavy booster.

    Each Space Launch System’s forward skirt will connect the upper part of the rocket to the core stage and contains flight computers.
    A large rocket booster, prominently orange, is seen inside a lit-up industrial framework at night, surrounded by scaffolding and safety barriers.
    Engineers deliberately pushed a test version of the Space Launch System’s liquid hydrogen tank past the breaking point as part of routine tests at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.
