Karmactive TeamWhile SpaceX may have failed to launch its first orbital test flight of the Starship vehicle, it has managed to launch the Starship Torch, a miniature version of the spacecraft.
Wit a price tag of $175, space as well as cooking enthusiasts can now own this unique torch that resembles the Starship spacecraft. The Starship Torch uses conventional butane and can be used for culinary purposes, lighting candles, or even starting a fireplace.
The torch is built on a 1:200 scale and comes with a flame regulator and a safety lock. The item is currently available for pre-order on SpaceX’s website and will be shipped during the summer. The Starship Torch is not a toy, according to SpaceX.
The real Starship spacecraft uses three Raptor engines and three Raptor Vacuum engines, while the Super Heavy rocket has 33 Raptor engines and will be the most powerful rocket when launched. SpaceX offers an array of branded items on its website, including apparel, a backpack, water bottle, and a mug.
