Elon Musk’s SpaceX company has included their new Starship rocket in its launch pack, just five days after its predecessor exploded.
Images have surfaced showing SN11, the latest Starship prototype, being built on the launch pad with a large crane at the company’s site in Boca Chica, Texas on Monday.
SN11 will explode in the coming days, at which point it will rise to unknown heights and hopefully land without exploding into a fireball like before SN10.

The new SpaceX SN11 Starship is expected to explode in the coming days, during which time it will rise to unknown heights and hopefully come to earth without an explosion.
SpaceX plans to send humans to Mars using a two-stage spacecraft made up of Starship (the division that carries passengers) and the Super Heavy rocket upgrade.
However, the company still has some work to do to complete the construction of the $ 216 million Starship, formerly known as ‘BFR’, at the SpaceX development site in Texas.
Starship SN11 – short for ‘serial number eleven’ – follows SN10, which exploded 10 minutes after last week’s soft launch ‘Wednesday’.

During its first high test flight, SN10 went up six miles into the air, hitting its altitude mark in the process.
SN10 would fly, maneuver and land without crashing and firing like the previous prototypes SN8 and SN9.
Spacelon CEO Elon Musk praised the rocket when it went down ‘in one piece,’ but returned to Twitter after exploding about 10 minutes later saying, ‘RIP SN10, honorable release’.
Some sources claim that it did not use the lying legs attached to the SN10 base, which the rocket put over, and the crushed pipe held methane.
As a result, an impressive orange fireball sent SN10 into the air once again as if it were just a paper cylinder.
Later, Spot – the yellow, four-legged robot dog from Boston Dynamics, re-enacting Zeus with SpaceX – was seen investigating the crash site.

The robot, which is suitable for indoor or outdoor use, can map its environment, avoid sensations and obstacles, climb stairs and open doors.
You can be accused of sniffing out hydrocarbon leaks, inspecting equipment, taking mechanical readings and completing inspections in areas that may be too dangerous for human workers.
It is possible that the robot dog, equipped with cameras and sensors, is being used to explore environments that no human SpaceX employee can withstand.
WHAT IS A ‘BFR’ ELON MUSK?
The BFR (Big F *** ing Rocket), now called Starship, completes all missions and is smaller than the ones Musk announced in 2016.
The SpaceX CEO said the rocket would make its first flight to the red planet in 2022, carrying just goods, followed by a mission in 2024 and said other SpaceX products would be ‘cannibalised’ to pay for its shon.
The rocket would largely be used and able to fly directly from Earth to Mars.
Once built, Musk believes the rocket could be used to travel on Earth – saying it would allow passengers to get anywhere within an hour. .
