Since April 2023, SpaceX Starship vehicles have flown 4 times, with 2 successes and 2 failures. SpaceX has developed Starship with the intention of lowering launch costs using economies of scale.^[1] SpaceX aims to achieve this by reusing both rocket stages, increasing payload mass to orbit, increasing launch frequency, creating a mass-manufacturing pipeline and adapting it to a wide range of space missions.^[2]^[3] Starship is the latest project in SpaceX's reusable launch system development program and plan to colonize Mars.

There are currently three planned versions of Starshop, v1, v2, and v3.^[4] As of June 2024, only v1 vehicles have flown.^[4]

Both Starship's first and second stages are reusable, and can be caught via the arms used to assemble the rocket at the pad.^[5]
