SpaceX Starship, world's biggest rocket, set for first test flight

Starship consists of a 164-foot (50-meter) tall spacecraft designed to carry crew and cargo that sits atop a 230-foot tall first-stage Super Heavy booster rocket. Collectively referred to as Starship, the spacecraft and the Super Heavy rocket have never flown in combination together, although there have been several sub-orbital test flights of the spacecraft alone. The Super Heavy booster was anchored to the ground during the test-firing, called a static fire, to prevent it from lifting off.
