A Peek Inside the Starship

The internal structure of the Starship consists of several designated areas to ensure the comfort and functionality needed for extended missions. The bottom level houses the engines and major machinery, with the fuel tanks taking up significant space. Moving up, future astronauts could envision the following:

• Lower Levels: The cargo bay for housing vital equipment, including a Mars rover, and food storage facilities, with plans for a hydroponic garden to cultivate fresh produce.

• Middle Levels: Spaces allocated for exercise and hygiene are crucial to counteracting muscle atrophy in microgravity, supplemented by innovative dry personal cleaning options to manage difficult conditions.
