SpaceX's Starship produces more than twice the thrust of the Saturn V, but after 13 test flights it has not yet demonstrated ship-to-ship refueling in orbit. That capability remains one of the biggest technical hurdles for the vehicle's Mars architecture, which depends on an unproven cryogenic refueling system.
Starship has unmatched liftoff thrust, but its Mars architecture still depends on an unproven vehicle-to-vehicle cryogenic refuelling system.
