To solve this problem the Starship uses methane as its fuel instead Methane is commonly known as natural gas and is known for burning cleanly We use methane in our furnaces and stove tops without worrying about cleaning them daily The same principle applies to a rocket engine that burns methane It can be used multiple times without requiring maintenance in between flights Converting methane into a liquid state for rocket fuel just like oxygen adds complexity to the system It involves supercooling methane to cryogenic temperatures similar to what is done with oxygen Dealing with two cryogenic liquids adds a significant level of difficulty which is why many other companies have not pursued this approach However SpaceX has taken on this challenge with the Raptor engine which is the first rocket engine designed to burn methane It has successfully launched and is expected to be the first methane-burn ing engine to reach orbit
