Starship, though, will be able to fly on its own and even make orbit, the company says. Two Starship prototypes are currently under construction, one at the South Texas site and the other at an industrial site in Cocoa, Florida. The Florida version of Starship will be taken by truck and barge to Cape Canaveral for test flights. Starhopper will now be used as a vertical test stand for Raptor engine tests. "It's quite robust," Musk said of the vehicle's design in an Aug. 25 tweet.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> From Elon Musk via Twitter: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]One day Starship will land on the rusty sands of Mars.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_starhopper_150m_test02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/spacex_starhopper_150m_test02.jpg" width="400" height="637" border="0"></a></center>[/B][/QUOTE]
