Then we just have to see if SpaceX can pull off orbital refueling at scale.

Starship 3 first launch will be in April as well https://www.caller.com/story/news/local/2026/03/11/spacex-st...

Imagine riding in a vehicle that has been tested zero times. I would be terrified. Best of luck to the team.

“As early as April 1” is a weird way to describe something that is two months behind schedule
