SpaceX plans for this month of October to present a new version of the Starship rocket. The information came through the company's CEO, Elon Musk, who tweeted about it last Friday (02/10).
According to Elon Musk's Twitter post, the new version of SpaceX's super rocket will be called 1.0.
Oh yeah, Starship update coming in about 3 weeks. The design has coalesced. What is presented will actually be what flies to orbit as V1.0 with almost no changes.
