Elon Musk stated SpaceX is constructing a”test hopper” automobile in Texas that could launch by March or even April.
The automobile is a squat variation of a full sized Starship spaceship — just one that is being designed to reach Mars as part of their Big Falcon Rocket system.
Photos taken by locals in Boca Chica, Texas (where SpaceX is constructing a launching site) reveal the summary of a spaceship coming together.

Elon Musk logged on to Twitter this weekend to provide a veritable sleigh filled with presents to fans of the rocket business, SpaceX, in time for Christmas.

Musk was awaiting SpaceX’s 21st (along with record-breaking) rocket launching of this year on Saturday when he revealed that construction of a prototype to get a Mars spaceship, called Starship, is currently underway in the corporation’s Texas launching website.
