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.

After a successful wet dress rehearsal of Starship's fueling and prelaunch operations, SpaceX readies Booster 7 for its biggest static fire test yet: a test of all 33 of its booster's engines. The test is expected to follow a de-stack of the rocket stages around early February. Pictured: SpaceX's Starship production site, a series of rectangular bays and hangars for building Starship rockets, boosters, and cryogenic tanks, can be seen through the afternoon coastal haze at SpaceX's south Texas facility near Brownsville, Texas on January 24, 2023.
