SpaceX is preparing for its sixth test flight of its Starship megarocket, with the sixth vehicle's 165-foot-tall upper stage being tested at its Starbase site in South Texas. Elon Musk's company documented the milestone on X, posting three photos of the move on November 12.
A pixelated, smiling cartoon banana holding a somewhat genuine banana is the subject of one of the close-up images, which highlights some vibrant artwork covering the stainless-steel spaceship.
SpaceX has successfully rolled the Starship Super Heavy booster to the launch pad for its 5th test flight, with the company aiming for its next Starship megarocket launch on November 18. This comes as a reference to the "banana for scale" joke.
Starship is the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, consisting of the upper stage, Starship, and a massive first-stage booster, Super Heavy, which when stacked, stands nearly 400 feet tall.
