31 out of 33 engines working of Booster 7 has ignited the ambition of Musk to inhabit Mars

On Feb 9 SpaceX tested the Starship first stage prototype known as Booster 7 which occurred at 4:13 p.m. EST. Booster 7 ignited 31 of its Raptor engines out of 33 during a static fire test that took place in South Texas. The goal was to make sure the working of 33 engines but only 31 worked on which Musk wrote on Twitter, “Team turned off 1 engine just before the start and 1 stopped itself, so 31 engines fired overall. But still enough engines to reach orbit”.

SpaceX considers Starship as one of the revolutionary transportation systems which will take humans to Mars and will help in accomplishing its goal of inhabiting Mars. This vehicle has two main elements, the first one is a giant Super Heavy and the second one is a 165-foot tall upper-stage spacecraft known as Starship.

In response to the video shared by SpaceX in which it shared the drone view of Booster 7 Musk wrote, “One-day Starship will take us to Mars”. Musk is working very hard to fulfill his ambitious dream of colonizing human civilization on Mars. On being asked by a user “Elon, when do you imagine a human existence on Mars” Musk wrote, “I must admit to being congenitally optimistic but i think 5 years is possible and 10 years is highly likely”.
