SpaceX showcased a fully loaded Starship rocket. his video sent from Twitter.
The video shows that the stages of the rocket are interconnected and installed in the launch complex. “Starship has completed its first flight-like dress rehearsal. “The Ship and Booster has been assembled for the first time and fully filled with 10 million pounds (4.5 million kg) of fuel,” the company said in a statement. The fact that the ship is fully fueled is evidenced by the ice (frost) cover of the rocket. It is located inside the fuselage where fuel tanks filled with liquid methane and oxygen are placed. The exception is one of the sides of the upper stage, covered with black thermal protection, which is also a heat insulator.
