SpaceX is, quite literally, on a mission to Mars, and at the rate they’re going, it seems not much can stop them now, even if it’s still a decade or two away.
For those who love SpaceX’s goals as much as we do, MoreThan3D Ltd has created a completely 3D printed 1/48 scale replica of the Starship SN8 and SN9 prototypes, according to a post on Twitter. Buyers can either purchase the hard copy of the replica from the company, or just the STL files to be able to 3D print their own copies.
Its OFFICIAL – STARSHIP – M1 has launched!!!

In December, SpaceX debuted a couple of new aerial maneuvers at the SN8 high-altitude launch, which are expected to revolutionize the way the rocket orients itself before landing again.
As SpaceX continues to develop its rocket program, it also has major plans for Starlink, its low-Earth orbit satellite internet service, currently in its infancy in a limited beta program. The company had plans to launch its next batch of Starlink satellites on Saturday, but postponed the launch to Tuesday due to unfavorable launch conditions.
In any case, SpaceX is inching ever closer to fulfilling its plans on Mars, and these 3D printed rockets modeled after the SN8 or SN9 are the perfect toys for any SpaceX enthusiast.
