Originally Published 2 years ago — by Business Insider
SpaceX has made four major changes to its Starship rocket system following its first launch failure, with CEO Elon Musk stating that it is now "ready to launch" again. The modifications include the addition of a vent and heat shields between the spaceship and the booster to enable a risky new maneuver called hot staging. Other changes include new protection against booster damage, improvements to the rocket's engines, and upgrades to the landing legs. These upgrades are crucial for SpaceX's goal of establishing a human settlement on Mars and returning humans to the moon.
