The company has mated the top and bottom halves of the Starship Mk1 vehicle at its South Texas facilities, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said today (Sept. 27). SpaceX 創始人兼CEO，Elon Musk 今天表示，該公司已經在位於德州南部的工地中將Starship MK1 的上半部與下半部組裝完成。 "Starship halves being joined," he posted on Twitter, along with a photo of the sleek silver Mk1. The milestone comes just in time for Musk's big weekend announcement: On Saturday evening (Sept. 28), the billionaire entrepreneur will reveal the latest design of Starship and Super Heavy, the spacecraft and rocket that SpaceX is developing to help humanity settle the moon, Mars and other distant worlds. 這個里程碑恰逢Musk 在周末的重要發表：9/28 周六晚上(美國時間)，這位富豪企業家將展示Starship 與Super Heavy 的最新設計，這是SpaceX 為了人類能前往月球、火星、以及其他遙遠世界而開發的太空船與火箭。 Scape 解說：BFR 是SpaceX 下一代的主力火箭，而這枚火箭分為上下兩個部分，下為主要用於脫離地球大氣層的一級火箭，也就是Super Heavy，等到一級火箭燃料用到一定程度後一級火箭會脫離回到地面，接著二級火箭，也就是Starship 引擎點火前往目的地。Starship 除了具有一般二級火箭的功能外，他也身兼太空船的角色。 The presentation will take place at the South Texas site, which is near the village of Boca Chica. The newly stacked Mk1 will presumably serve as a dramatic backdrop. 發表會將在德州南部Boca Chica 的附近舉行，屆時這枚剛完成的Mk1 原型大概會是一個很生動的背景。 Musk tends to give such big updates once per year; he has done so every autumn since 2016. He also parcels out interesting design details via Twitter from time to time. Musk 習慣每年做一次這種重大的發布更新，從2016年以來，他每年秋天都會這樣做。而他也常常在推特上爆料提供各種有趣的設計細節。 Both Starship and Super Heavy will be fully and rapidly reusable, and the duo could begin flying commercial missions as soon as 2021, SpaceX representatives have said. The first operational flights will likely launch communications satellites, but there is a crewed Starship mission on the docket for 2023 — a round-the-moon flight booked by Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa. SpaceX 說，Starship 與Super Heavy 都可以完全且快速的重複使用，並且最快可能在2021年就開始商業飛行任務。首次發射任務可能會發射一枚通信衛星，但 2023年預計會有一個載人任務，這是日本富豪前澤友作所預定的繞月飛行任務。 Starship will be capable of carrying 100 passengers and will be powered by six of SpaceX's next-generation Raptor engines, Musk has said. Super Heavy, meanwhile, will feature 35 Raptors. Musk 說，Starship 可以運送100名乘客，而其動力是6具下世代SpaceX 猛禽引擎，而Super Heavy 將配置35具猛禽引擎。 But those details may have changed; we'll have to wait until tomorrow's presentation tomorrow to find out. 不過這些細節有變化的可能，我們必須等到明天的發佈會才能知道答案。 (記者沒說的是就算發佈會完了這些設計細節還是有可能改變 XD) SpaceX is working its way up to the final Starship iteration via a series of prototypes. The first test version, the single-engine Starhopper, was retired last month after acing its second and final untethered flight from Boca Chica. SpaceX 正透過一系列原型進行迭代來完成最終Starship 的設計。第一個測試版本是單引擎的Starhopper，上個月在Boca Chica 進行了第二次也是最後一次的不受限試飛後退役。 (影片：https://youtu.be/bYb3bfA6_sQ

) The 165-foot-tall (50 meters) Mk1 is the next in line. This three-engine vehicle will initially fly to an altitude of about 12 miles (20 kilometers), perhaps as early as next month, Musk has said. The Mk1 will go into Earth orbit on future test flights, if all goes according to plan. 這個50公尺高的MK1 原型則是下一個。Musk 說，這個三引擎的MK1 一開始可能會飛到距離地表20公里高，最早會在下個月進行。如果一切順利，MK1 原型會在未來的試飛中進入地球軌道。 The outlook is similar for Starship Mk2, which SpaceX is building at its Florida facilities. The goal is to improve the final design of Starship via some competition between the two sites, Musk has said. 另外SpaceX 在佛羅里達建造中的MK2 原型也有類似的未來規劃，Musk 說目標是透過兩組工作團隊之間的競爭來改善Starship 的最終設計。 5.完整新聞連結 (或短網址): http://bit.ly/2lRHHSM 6.備註: 這新聞連結中有組裝過程的縮時影片，可以去看一下。文中說的發佈會預計是在台灣時間9/29 早上約8或9點會開始，屆時會有網路直播有興趣的鄉民們記得要看 XD 另外國外有人將現在這個MK1 原型拿來與現役的Falcon 9 一級火箭做比較一比就可以看出這個Starship MK1 大的有多誇張了! 將來與Super Heavy 合體後會更壯觀~ https://i.imgur.com/tA855Dw.jpg
