After a full week of immense progress toward SpaceX\u2019s first orbital Starship vehicles. The SpaceX teams down at Starbase finally stacked their first Starship launch vehicle.<\/p>\n

The week began with Booster 4 being moved from the High Bay down the road to the orbital launch pad. There SpaceX lifted the booster and placed it for the first time on the launch mount. Installed on the booster were 29 Raptor engines, the most we\u2019ve seen in one place.<\/p>\n

Thursday, a fully assembled Starship, Ship 20, was rolled down the highway to join Booster 4 by the launch mount. After winds scrubbed the lift Thursday, early Friday morning SpaceX lifted and stacked Ship 20 on top of Booster 4.<\/p>\n

This combination of the two vehicles makes Starship officially the tallest rocket ever built. Standing at 120 meters (119 possibly?). It stands taller than NASA\u2019s Saturn V, used for the Apollo program, which was 110 meters tall. Sadly though, the fully stacked Starship didn\u2019t last long as it was destacked only a few minutes after it was stacked for the first time.<\/p>\n
