SpaceX has shared a trio of awesome night shots showing its Super Heavy booster — the most powerful rocket ever built — being rolled to the launchpad ahead of its third test flight.
Look closely at the image above and you’ll see that the transporter carrying the 233-foot-tall (71 meters) booster is bedecked with Christmas decorations, including colorful lights, a tree, and a Santa Claus model. And for scale, take a look at the human captured in the extreme right of the frame.
In the other two images you’ll also see SpaceX’s “Gateway to Mars” sign, a mark of the company’s intent to use its facility in Boca Chica, Texas, for the first human flight to Mars, possibly in the 2030s.
