The StarShip and Elon Musk is the protagonist, what are we going to do with him, he is the protagonist whether we like it or not, practically every 24 hours we have new news about Elon Musk or the companies related to him with this character, in this specific case we already have a date for the eighth test of the starship with which the spacex ship is.
In the Image we see the rocket that they are moving to position itself, this test will be on Friday, February 28, the news was given by Elon Musk who is the chief executive of the company SpaceX and he did it on his social network in X and also with his style, you already know that he is very brief when writing in this case he simply said "StarShip flight 8 will leave on Friday" period, there was no need to say more, after the test it was postponed to March 3.
This test flight will be the first since January 16 when SpaceX managed to catch for the second time the super heavy rocket that is the first stage of the StarShip, the StarShip is the union of what is the spaceship and the rocket that we are seeing, they are two pieces, but the rocket itself is called super heavy and the spaceship has the name StarShip, that first stage was the one that had problems precisely the rocket can be caught now with giant mechanical arms that are attached to the somewhat amazing launch tower.
I remind you that the ship had a problem, a failure, and it disintegrated over the Eastern Caribbean 8 minutes after takeoff, between Cuba and the Bahamas, it was due to several fires that broke out and they say that they have already corrected that matter; What is going to happen now with the eighth flight, we are going to see how the entire development of the StarShip is accelerated, we know that Elon Musk is obsessed with prioritizing the trip to Mars and there are rumors that he is trying to persuade that is why I tell you that many things are going to change.
There are rumors that Elon Musk is trying to persuade Donald Trump to abandon the rest of NASA's objectives, including the Artemis program to return to the moon, and to focus solely and exclusively on the Americans being the first to reach Mars. We can argue that the moon thing was already the first and in these historic moments of the race for the moon, the important thing is to have a presence on it, that is, confirm that you have a ship that can reach the moon.
Right now, there is nothing on the moon or even on Mars that is profitable to exploit. I am talking about natural resources, but this may change from the middle of this century. We can find it on the moon but on Earth we cannot find it practically anywhere, it is something that is very difficult to find or produce.
They would make lunar mining very profitable and very juicy and at that moment it would be when the natural riches of the moon would have to be distributed and of course if you want to enter into the pie of the distribution of the mineral riches of the moon you have to have the capacity to reach it obviously, that is why so many nations right now that what they want is to send a ship to the moon and have a position on it we have China, Russia tried it about a year ago, it went wrong but they will try again, India obviously, the United States is with this ship StarShip.
Israel has also tried to send a ship, Japan, Korea has also sent a ship, there are a lot of Nations, the problem is Europe, the problem now lies with Europe, deep down this is going to be good for the Europeans because it will wake up the ruling class once and for all and they will begin to take measures to activate everything that is technology, technological development, the development of sciences in Europe, which was being lost at a tremendous rate and also European industry that was also being lost at a rate due to relocation.
A lot of European industry has been sent, for example to China or India, but I think this is going to be good for them, this slap that the United States is giving them is going to be good for them to wake up and position themselves and also fight in this space race.

One impressive thing about SpaceX is how fast they move. They had a pretty good idea of what the fault was for F7 almost as soon as it happened, and within a few days they were already making the changes to the next ship (this one for F8). The fact that they even had another ship so close to being finished is an incredible achievement anyway, and being able to adapt it so fast is even more so. Hopefully Flight 8 will go well.
