SpaceX Starship Booster Gets Loaded With Cryogenic Propellant

During a launch attempt on April 17, 2023, SpaceX loaded their enormous Starship launch vehicle with liquid methane and oxygen during its launch sequence at the company's South Texas facility near Brownsville, Texas. The surface of the booster's steel body can be seen chilled by the fuel within moments before the launch attempt was scrubbed due to a frozen valve within the booster.
