SpaceX will load more than 10 million pounds of super-cold methane and liquid oxygen into the propellant tanks of the Super Heavy booster and Starship rocket.
Eventually, SpaceX wants Starship to be the next-generation vehicle to replace and expand the capacity offered by the company's existing Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft.
One of the neat things about SpaceX's privately-owned South Texas launch site, named Starbase, is the public can approach within a few hundred feet of the rocket. The surrounding mud flats, dunes, and beach are all public land.
