Elon Musk Just Leaked the New Starship and It's Mind Blowing!

A recent sighting of an unusual stainless steel ring section at SpaceX's Starbase hints at potential design updates to Starship. The new section features multiple cutouts, forming six arches around the hull, a design characteristic of the interstage of Proton rockets, known for their 'hot staging' technique. This method involves igniting the engines of the next stage before separating the current one, enabling rapid separation.
