The first orbital flight of the SpaceX Starship interplanetary spacecraft may take place in July

That the first orbital flight of an interplanetary spacecraft Spacex starship, which subsequently should send a crew to Mars, may take place in the very near future, Gwynn Shotwell herself hinted (President of the company Spacex).

So G. Shotwell expressed hope that the company's engineers will be able to carry out all the preparatory work on time and, despite the complexity of the task, they will succeed.

This statement was made at the virtual conference of the National Space Society on the development of outer space. In addition, the representative Spacex also stated that the engineers are in the final stages of preparation, and a launch is possible in the very near future.

And it turns out, if everything goes according to plan, then in July 2021 the first orbital flight may take place. Spacex starship.

I would like to note that over the past year, SpaceX specialists have performed more than a dozen test flights of Starship, but they were all rather fleeting and took place within the atmosphere of our planets.

And the first successful flight followed by a successful landing of the prototype SN 15 took place in May this year.

Almost at the same time, representatives of the company Spacex unveiled a plan for the upcoming flight Starship, according to which the launch of the ship will take place from the launch pad in Boca Chica (Texas). The spacecraft will stay in orbit for about 80 minutes and after the allotted time will perform a soft landing on the coast of the Hawaiian Islands.

Also about the first test flight Spacex starship personally stated Elon Musk and, starting from the rhetoric of statements, it can be assumed that the plan for the early launch Spacex starship into orbit, the company's engineers will strictly adhere and this despite a whole series of failures in test flights of prototypes SN.

Well, if the flight turns out to be successful or if it suffers a complete fiasco, we will find out soon enough, but I want to believe that Spacex starship will successfully pass the tests, which means that all of humanity will be one more small step closer to the first manned flight to Mars.
