SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk is slated to give an updated presentation on the company’s Starship rocket on Saturday evening in Cameron County, Texas.

The massive rocket represents the company’s ambition to build a vehicle that can launch and land multiple times, all while being capable of carrying as many as 100 people to the moon and Mars.

SpaceX has been testing an early prototype of the rocket at its Texas facility and, on Friday, finished assembling the first iteration of Starship. The company is simultaneously building a second Starship rocket in Florida, where it also plans to conduct launches.
