[[File:SpaceX Starship Superheavy Testing February 2023.jpg|thumb|SpaceX Starship's Superheavy Booster, serial no. B7, being tested on the orbital launch pad at Starbase, Boca Chica, Texas in February 2023]] [[File:NASA Marshall visit to Super Heavy booster.jpg|alt=Large steel cylinder with complex engine mounts and wiring|thumb|Underside of Super Heavy booster prior to engine installation|left]]

The first-stage booster, named Super Heavy, is 70 m (230 ft) tall, 9 m (30 ft) wide,^[1] and contains thirty-three Raptor engines arranged in concentric rings.^[2] The outermost ring of 20 engines are of the "Raptor Boost" configuration with gimbal actuators removed to save weight and a modified injector with reduced throttle performance in exchange for greater thrust.^[3] At full power, all engines produce a collective 75.9 MN (17,100,000 lb_f) of thrust.^[4]

The booster's tanks can hold 3,600 t (7,900,000 lb) of propellant, consisting of 2,800 t (6,200,000 lb) of liquid oxygen and 800 t (1,800,000 lb) of liquid methane.^[a] Super Heavy uses 280 L (74 US gal) of hydraulic fluid.^[6] The final design will have a dry mass between 160 t (350,000 lb) and 200 t (440,000 lb), with the tanks weighing 80 t (180,000 lb) and the interstage 20 t (44,000 lb).^[5]

The booster is equipped with four electrically actuated grid fins, each with a mass of 3 t (6,600 lb). Adjacent pairs of grid fins are only spaced sixty degrees apart instead of being orthogonal (as is the case on Falcon 9) to provide more authority in the pitch axis. Also, unlike Falcon 9, the grid fins do not retract and remain extended during ascent.^[5] The booster can be lifted through protruding hardpoints located between gridfins.^[7] During unpowered flight in vacuum, control authority is provided by cold gas thrusters fed with residual ullage gas.

"Booster 7" was destroyed in a test flight in April 2023.

Other booster rockets are "Booster 4".

You are good to go. Godspeed! 2001:2020:32F:A3C0:993:A863:4653:7DA7 (talk) 19:34, 26 April 2023 (UTC) 2001:2020:32F:A3C0:993:A863:4653:7DA7 (talk) 19:34, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest keeping "Booster 7" and B8 and B9 on the list (and in that manner).--I hope that works out. 2001:2020:32F:A3C0:C511:2CE6:FAB:99C5 (talk) 02:53, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. DASL51984 ^{(Speak to me!)} 22:31, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• @Redacted II, please make sure you read the warning I left you at WP:AN3. To be clear, it means that if you edit-war again, you risk being blocked without notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:58, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I was not trying to edit war (in fact, I was very much keeping track of my reverts). At the same time, thank you for the warning, and I will try harder in the future. Redacted II (talk) 23:52, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  You don't have to revert 4x to violate policy.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:57, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I misremembered the rule. Again, thanks for reminding me. Redacted II (talk) 23:58, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Your comments about keeping track of your reverts and misremembering the rule make it sound like you're not a new editor. Have you had other accounts before this one?--Bbb23 (talk) 00:02, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I had an issue with edit warring a few weeks ago. I just misremembered the rule I had learned from that (4x vs 3x). Redacted II (talk) 00:06, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. QuicoleJR (talk) 18:50, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As my user page states, I am a (somewhat) new editor (as of June 2023). Please post all your complaints about me here, instead of making new topics. Redacted II (talk) 20:52, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, friendly tip: read WP:BLUDGEON and watch out for this issue. You are a very enthusiastic new editor (I was the same!) and sometimes you can get a bit carried away in discussions. Try not to express your views in each discussion/subject more than once. Replying to every comment can lead to trouble and makes discussions end up in a big mess. ((u|Gtoffoletto))  ^talk 10:09, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your not the first to warn me about WP:BLUDGEON. I'm trying to balance an avoidance of WP:BLUDGEON and remaining in "conversations" that I've already started. Redacted II (talk) 12:57, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not a warning just a tip. Once you've replied in a thread it is usually better to then just wait for other editors to provide their comment. There is usually no point in starting endless conversations and no rush. Just wait for others to chime in. ((u|Gtoffoletto))  ^talk 14:21, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I find that, in (some) "endless" conversations, a better understanding can be formed between two different views.

But I am taking your advice into consideration. Redacted II (talk) 14:46, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As you have not stopped your bludgeoning for many months now, despite many warnings from different editors, I've made a thread about you at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Redacted_II. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 18:01, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for such a drastic action, but your behavior is extremely disruptive when you make another RfC after the previous RfC has formed a consensus that doesn't match your opinion (that the launch is a failure). This is a serious failure to listen to other editors and value others' opinions, which does not belong in Wikipedia. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 18:03, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have made ZERO RFCs. Ever. The one that you posted a link to was made by DASL51984.

I also haven't even been an editor for two whole months yet.

Yes, my behavior starting out wasn't the best (to say the least), but that has been dealt with.

And in the sole area I'm debating with other editors on Wikipedia, I have acknowledged that RFC. Sure, I may not like it, but saying my attempts to get a clarification (labeling S24/B7 as prototypes) is disregarding other's opinions, is quite the stretch. Redacted II (talk) 18:47, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CactiStaccingCrane I started this thread as friendly advice to a new user. Not a warning and I have seen an improvement already in Redacted's behaviour. So your attempt to frame this differently is inappropriate. ((u|Gtoffoletto))  ^talk 20:07, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's a different when you're just being enthusiastic versus when you make another RfC because the last RfC didn't go where you've wanted. That's two completely different things. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 23:31, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't make the RFC!

DASL51984 did.

Please read my earlier post! And if you don't believe me, check the Talk Page history! Redacted II (talk) 23:53, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. Sorry that I've caused you trouble. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 00:06, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the apology. No hard feelings.

(But would it be possible for you to stop the ANI thread?)

EDIT: THANK YOU! Redacted II (talk) 00:14, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Redacted II,

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for expanding the Vast-1 draft. Your work is really appreciated!

Cheers, Cocobb8 (💬 talk to me! • ✏️ my contributions) 21:33, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

And, thank you for your work on the SpaceX Super Heavy article. Your contributions have been incredible, to say the least. Redacted II (talk) 23:17, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'm glad that we're working hand in hand in making Wikipedia's coverage of spaceflight better! Cocobb8 (💬 talk to me! • ✏️ my contributions) 14:19, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great news, Vast-1 has been approved and published!! Thanks again for working on it with me :). Cocobb8 (💬 talk to me! • ✏️ my contributions) 21:03, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's been great working with you on Vast-1, Super Heavy, and several other articles! Redacted II (talk) 21:08, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I've just created Vast-2, so if you want to add to it, feel free to do so! Cocobb8 (💬 talk to me! • ✏️ my contributions) 16:17, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I discovered Vast-2 maybe an hour ago.

You've done an excellent job! Redacted II (talk) 17:37, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty much copy-pasted :) Cocobb8 (💬 talk to me! • ✏️ my contributions) 17:38, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If it works, why change it? Redacted II (talk) 17:39, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, I copied content from Vast-1 onto Vast-2. Cocobb8 (💬 talk to me! • ✏️ my contributions) 17:43, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know. Redacted II (talk) 17:57, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Redacted II,

I started a new section in the SpaceX Starbase article called Layout. It is still in the very beginning phase, but it is where we can add all the technical details about how the orbital launch site, production sites and Massey's work. I thought that, since you're a Starship fan too, you might want to add to it! Feel free to do so! :) Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 18:09, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. Redacted II (talk) 18:50, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
