In our 21st year now, Bucer’s Coffeehouse & Pub has been roasting our own fine coffee, serving great espresso, baking beautiful pastries, grilling hearty sandwiches, pouring amazing local draught beers, and fine wines, and much more…

We do it all for a vibrant and diverse community that appreciates great food and drink, enjoys live music, and loves to run into their friends here in our pub.

THE ROASTERY

Bucer’s was built on the foundation of carefully selected 100% Arabica coffee, roasted fresh, in-house, every week. Our favorites tend to come from the isthmus area of Latin America (especially Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica), the horn of Africa (especially Ethiopia), Sumatra, and Papua New Guinea – but we’re always running into stunning new coffees that we work into our regular rotation.

Our pride and joy – and the focus of our roasting – is our signature Bucer’s Blend. Bucer’s Blend combines beans from Latin America, East Africa, and Indonesia to create a nutty, chocolatey, earthy cup. Balancing these classic espresso notes with a light sweetness and elegant smoothness, it works beautifully as espresso but just as well in a French Press, pour-over, Aeropress, and even as a drip coffee.

Our Roastmaster roasts our coffee a few times weekly with a Turkish-built Toper 10-kilo roaster. The artisan craft originated with Bucer’s founding family and current owner, the Greenfields. Roasting our own guarantees the freshest cup in the region!

The Bucer’s kitchen staff gets started early in the morning, baking our own made-from-scratch muffins, cinnamon rolls, scones, and coffee cake. Our rich quiches come flourless or baked in a fine pastry crust, with options for vegetarians or meat-lovers. Our hearty Pub breakfast pastries and breakfast burritos are filled with eggs, sausage, and cheese. Our panini grilled sandwiches are piled with meats, cheeses, and veggies onto our fresh-baked focaccia bread. Plus a rotating variety of daily soups, pasta salad, brown rice salad (GF), or Asian kale salad (GF), and any number of inspired surprises.

Our homemade dessert selection includes our popular six-layer Guinness Chocolate Cake, Crumb Top Apple Pie, New York Cheesecake, Key Lime Pie, and our rich chocolate truffles and macaroons. Don’t forget to try our signature Affogato with Ferdinand’s local WSU creamery ice-cream.

There’s many more great menu items we could list here, but we recommend coming in, taking a look at our selection which includes many Gluten-Free options, and tasting some for yourself!

Every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, Bucer’s offers an eclectic blend of live music. We feature jazz, blues, Americana, Indie, folk, rock, etc. and many a singer-songwriter. Check our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter to get weekly updates about our featured artists and live music times.

All ages welcome and no cover charge! If you are interested in auditioning to play here, it’s simple! Email Pat at [email protected] Subject line: MUSIC and let us know who you are and what your sound is. We line up auditions on Sunday evenings while we’re closed, and then if you’re a good fit for Bucer’s, we’ll schedule you in!

BUCER’s RECIPE BOOK

Refreshment for any time of day

All our coffee is roasted fresh weekly—only twenty feet away from where we serve it. Our baristas pull ristretto-style espresso with our earthy, chocolatey, and nutty Bucer’s Blend, and can make just about any kind of coffee drink you can imagine. From our impossibly delicious signature Cuban coffees, to milkshake-thick frappés, to old standbys like lattés and Americanos — we’re simply making the best coffee in Moscow.

Our wine list is curated in consultation with local wine experts and afficionados. Pair a glass with our homemade chocolate truffles, or a bottle with our gourmet three-cheese plate and some friends. Our taps feature a rotating selection of local microbrews—including Bucer’s Paradise, a blend of Paradise Creek’s milk stout with Bucer’s Blend Espresso —together with Northwest classics like Mac & Jack’s African Amber Ale and Terminal Gravity’s IPA or choose one of our many fine bottled brews.

Rounding out our drink menu we have real fruit smoothies blended to order, refreshing classics like Italian sodas, comforting staples like hot chocolate steamed on our La Marzocco. Then there’s our loose-leaf tea menu (TeaFountain.com), featuring a variety of complex, exotic loose-leaf teas, hot or iced. An array of other refreshing beverages completes our broad menu.

11 Best Coffee Shops in Moscow

Where is the most invigorating coffee in Moscow, the most airy pastry? What place is a mecca for coffee tourists? What coffee do locals drink? We selected 11 best coffee shops in Moscow  that we take out tourists to on our tours in Moscow. By the way, Russia became a full member of the International Coffee Organization in March 2015. Let’s go celebrate it in one of the coffee shops below! 

 Best coffee shops in Moscow

Strictly speaking, it is not a coffee shop – it’s a bakery shop where you can drink coffee. But! Coffee and pastry here are of such quality that they will beat any ten-course dinner.

10. Literary Cafe at the Moscow House of Books

Curl up with a book in a chair in the literary café at the Moscow House of Books on Novy Arbat street. Freshly brewed coffee, hundreds of books on the shelves to read,  relaxed atmosphere. Sometimes you can witness readings and presentations of famous writers and poets.

To tell you the truth, the best Literary Cafe in Russia is in St Pete. Indulge in Russian cuisine on one of our private tours St Petersburg .

9. Ochen Domashnee Cafe (Very Home-Made Cafe)

Warm colors, soft light, good atmosphere – everything to plunge into home comfort. Don’t forget to get a hand-made souvenir for home.

Best coffee shops in Moscow. Ochen domashnee cafe

8. Boucle Cafe

One of the oldest Moscow cafe located in the heart of the capital, on the Arbat street. Sip your coffee and watch literary events, film screenings and musical performances, sitting in one of those soft and colorful chairs.

7. Bulgakov House Cafe

Lokated in Bulgakov House which is famous for its amazing atmosphere: you can pat Behemoth cat, talk on the phone with Woland, indulge in delicious espresso and traditional desserts. Everything is literally saturated here with the spirit of the 1930s: tattered books on the shelves, retro lamps on the tables, vintage interior.

Best coffee shops in Moscow. Bulgakov House.

6. West 4 Brew Bar

West 4 makes brewing coffee in siphon a meditative and spectacular process: brown drops falling through the filter paper super slowly. So if are excited to see how your Nicaragua with notes of milk chocolate and hazelnut is progressing, you are welcome to watch the whole process.

5. Double B Coffee&Tea

For coffee sampling here we  recommend Ethiopia – neutral, but lurking mature tones of summer fruits. The drink is served in a glass flask, all power of the drink goes to the flavor – unusual amber hue, soft, fragrant. Warning: do not drink at once, and let it cool down not to miss anything.

Their own coffee shops remind laboratories, which constantly re-invent coffee drinks. There is no kitchen, but there is a large variety of coffee drinks. Apart from the classic espresso-based (cappuccino, latte, ristretto) there is also a large variety of alternative slow ways of brewing: chemex, hario and aeropress.

Double B’s signature drinks are latte with a variety of syrups, espresso with hazelnut mousse “Coffee wind” and raf-coffee, which is prepared on the basis of espresso with the addition of 11% -x cream and vanilla sugar. Worth a try is a lavender raf.

Ingenious method of preparing Australian lungo was peeped from the Australian colleague Matt Perger on World Barista Championship. Double B is the only coffee shop in Moscow that does Australian lungo really well.

Coffee gurus from Double B give some tips for beginning coffee lovers: chemex is served in a recognizable vessel. Coffee from aeropress is usually rich and muddy: for this method very thin paper filters are used. A hario is clean and shiny. Hot coffee is always slightly bitter, it needs to cool down. A good drink with the loss of temperature does not lose flavor. Do not add sugar, give your coffee a chance to become the most memorable experience in your life.

This spring 2015 Double B shares with us their new ideas: latte creme brulee (became a hit overnight), latte basil (with pine nuts), as well as cucumber tea with chamomile, which is so good for you.

Les is a unique place living under its own rules. Freshest salads, delicious sandwiches, tortillas and burritos and in-house desserts, combined with coffee master classes, sculpting, drawing, acting & DJ sets on the weekend make this place extremely popular among locals.

The interior of Les is unpretentious: whitewashed brick walls, wooden planks and menu written in white chalk on a blackboard. This is the only place in Moscow where they roast green coffee beans on the spot. Coffee is prepared only from beans of one variety, this way you can really get a taste of each type of coffee.

Best coffee shops in Moscow. Les.

3. Upside Down Cake Co

This is not only airy cupcakes and cakes, but also good-quality coffee. Espresso, cappuccino, latte – all coffee beverages are prepared from freshly roasted coffee beans.

The menu consists of 11 kinds of cupcakes and 16 kinds of cakes. Here you can also have breakfast porridge and soup for lunch. Dishes and pastries prepared by adapted American recipes Chef Isaac Correa. Almost half of the menu is updated every day, so it’s ideal for regular visits.

Highly recommended is aeropress Ethiopia Bokassa. Quite strong, completely black, no weaker than espresso, but with muted bitterness and bright grapefruit tartness. This coffee is ideal for wakening up.

2. Coffeemania

Apart from coffee and desserts, here you can get top notch breakfast, lunch and dinner. Coffee from Coffeemania is repeatedly called the most delicious and expensive in the city. This is the only Moscow coffee place with presentable interiors and high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers, classic leather sofas and an open kitchen. At the same time,  there is no standard design for each new coffee house. Each Coffeemania is unique.

Coffeemania has a reputation of a trend setter, they are long known for their Chemex. Worth a try is Chemex brewed mono-sorts of highland Colombia – coffee gets a lovely rounded taste and loses all coffee sharpness: no bitterness and smoke, only chocolate with walnut.

1. Coffee Bean

Our absolute favorite. A mecca for coffee lovers since 1996.

The menu offers over 50 high-quality coffee sorts. The most popular alternative coffee is purover with its soft, transparent, succulent taste.

Roasting Coffee with Bucer’s Coffeehouse Pub

by River and Terran | Mar 30, 2021 | Podcast | 0 comments

In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran head over to Moscow, ID to visit with their grandma and to spend some time in her Bucer’s Coffeehouse Pub.  While they are there, they take a tour of the roasting room, meet with the coffee roasting expert, Alex Doyle (“Kozo”), and get some of their biggest questions about the popular bean answered.

Interesting Coffee Facts

Did you know that coffee isn’t just a delicious morning pick-me-up?  It also boasts a lot of medicinal properties, including very, very high levels of antioxidants.  Coffee is considered the greatest source of antioxidants in the average western diet, with many people getting more from their cups of joe than from fruits and vegetables combined!  Of course, GoGreenfields does not recommend that you rely on coffee so heavily.  After all, there are so many delicious meals that can be prepared with fruits and vegetables.  However, a good quality cup of coffee, like those served at Bucer’s Coffeehouse Pub can deliver vitamins B2, B5, manganese, potassium, and even small amounts of B3.  Coffee drinks have also surprised scientists with multiple studies showcasing reduced risks of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinsons, type-2 diabetes, and even some forms of cancer. 

Visit Bucer’s Coffeehouse Pub!

If you live in Moscow, ID, or intend to visit in the future, be sure to check out Bucer’s Coffeehouse pub.  In addition to the excellent varieties of coffee, and speciality beverages, you’ll find fantastic food, including crisp, melty paninis that will make your mouth water.  There is also a terrific coffee cake that, of course, pairs exceptionally well with the beans River and Terran roasted during their visit!

Order Online!

Roasting coffee beans is both an art and a science.  River and Terran learned a lot about the importance of heat and time when working with Kozo.  Trying to replicate this level of bean roasting at home would be difficult, but if you want to give it a try, there are coffee roasters on the market that can get you started.  If you aren’t ready to take that big step, then rely on the experts at Bucers and order your coffee online !

We strongly recommend that you make a trip to Bucer’s or order a bag of beans to try at home.  Be sure to tag us in your social media posts with pictures of your cup of coffee!

How to Buy a Tiny House

Are you considering embarking on the exciting journey of buying a tiny house? Whether you are looking to downsize, lead a more sustainable lifestyle, or simply experience the freedom of minimalism, the tiny house movement might be the perfect fit for you. In this article, we will guide you through the process of buying a tiny house, from understanding the philosophy behind this movement to exploring the different types of tiny houses available. We will also delve into the legalities and financing options associated with tiny house living. So, let's dive in and discover how you can make your dream of owning a tiny house a reality.

Understanding the Tiny House Movement

Before delving into the practicalities of buying a tiny house, it is essential to understand the underlying philosophy behind this movement. The tiny house movement advocates for a simpler lifestyle, embracing minimalism and making conscious choices to live with less. It encourages individuals to focus on experiences and relationships rather than material possessions. By downsizing to a tiny house, you can reduce your environmental impact, achieve financial freedom, and reclaim your time for what truly matters.

The Philosophy Behind Tiny Living

The philosophy of tiny living revolves around the belief that a smaller space can lead to a fuller life. By downsizing, you can free yourself from the burden of excessive possessions, reduce your ecological footprint, and simplify your daily routine. Living tiny often involves embracing alternative energy sources, using sustainable materials, and adopting innovative design strategies to maximize space efficiency.

Imagine waking up in your tiny house, surrounded by natural light streaming in through strategically placed windows. As you step outside, you are greeted by a vibrant community garden, where neighbors gather to grow their organic vegetables and exchange gardening tips. The tiny house village you call home is a place where like-minded individuals come together to support one another, sharing resources and creating a strong sense of belonging.

Benefits of Tiny House Living

Living in a tiny house offers numerous benefits. Firstly, the reduced cost of purchasing and maintaining a tiny house allows for financial freedom and the opportunity to live debt-free. With the extra money saved, you can invest in experiences such as traveling, pursuing a passion project, or simply enjoying more leisure time. Secondly, small houses are energy-efficient, minimizing carbon footprints and reducing monthly utility bills. Many tiny house owners incorporate solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems, further reducing their environmental impact.

Picture yourself sitting on the porch of your tiny house, sipping a cup of freshly brewed coffee while watching the sunrise. The tranquility of your surroundings is enhanced by the knowledge that you are living sustainably, leaving a smaller ecological footprint on the planet. As you take a stroll through your tiny house community, you engage in meaningful conversations with your neighbors, exchanging stories and ideas. The sense of camaraderie and support within the tiny house movement is unparalleled, creating a network of individuals who truly understand and appreciate the value of living with less.

Deciding If a Tiny House Is Right for You

Now that you have a good grasp of the principles behind the tiny house movement, it is time to consider whether a tiny house is the right fit for you and your lifestyle.

Before diving into the world of tiny houses, it's essential to explore the various design options available. From traditional tiny houses on wheels to converted shipping containers and even treehouses, there are numerous creative choices to suit different preferences and needs. Each design comes with its unique features and challenges, so it's crucial to research and determine which style aligns best with your vision of a tiny home.

Lifestyle Considerations

Living in a tiny house requires a certain level of adaptability and a willingness to embrace a minimalist lifestyle. Assess your daily routine and determine if you are comfortable living with limited possessions and a reduced amount of space. Consider your hobbies and activities, and how they might be impacted by having a smaller living area. It is essential to take the time to reflect on whether a tiny house aligns with your values and aspirations.

Furthermore, exploring the concept of sustainability in your tiny house lifestyle can be enriching. From incorporating renewable energy sources like solar panels to implementing water-saving techniques, there are various ways to reduce your environmental impact while living in a tiny house. Embracing eco-friendly practices not only benefits the planet but also enhances your connection to nature and promotes a more mindful way of living.

Financial Implications

While tiny houses can offer significant financial freedom, it is crucial to consider the financial implications before making your purchase. Evaluate your budget and determine what you can comfortably afford. Take into account the cost of the tiny house itself, as well as any additional expenses such as land, utilities, and maintenance. It may also be necessary to explore financing options, which we will discuss later in this article.

Additionally, understanding the long-term financial benefits of tiny house living is essential. By downsizing and reducing your overall expenses, you can potentially free up resources for other priorities such as travel, education, or savings. Creating a comprehensive financial plan that aligns with your goals and aspirations can help you make an informed decision about whether a tiny house is a viable option for you.

Types of Tiny Houses

Once you have decided to pursue a tiny house lifestyle, it is time to explore the different types of tiny houses available in the market.

Living in a tiny house offers a unique opportunity to downsize and live a more minimalist lifestyle. The various types of tiny houses cater to different preferences and needs, allowing individuals to find the perfect fit for their desired way of living.

Mobile vs. Stationary Tiny Houses

Mobile tiny houses, often mounted on trailers, provide the flexibility to travel and explore different locations. These houses are built on a sturdy trailer frame, allowing for easy transportation and the ability to change your surroundings at will. On the other hand, stationary tiny houses are built on foundations and offer a more permanent living solution. Consider your desire for mobility and the ability to relocate when deciding between a mobile or stationary tiny house.

Mobile tiny houses are ideal for individuals who have a sense of adventure and enjoy traveling frequently. They offer the freedom to take your home wherever you go, exploring new landscapes and communities along the way. Stationary tiny houses, on the other hand, provide a sense of stability and rootedness, making them a great choice for those looking for a more settled lifestyle.

Pre-built vs. Custom-built Tiny Houses

When it comes to acquiring a tiny house, you have the option of purchasing a pre-built or custom-built one. Pre-built houses offer convenience and a faster turnaround time, as they are ready-made and can be delivered to your desired location. Custom-built houses, on the other hand, allow for personalization and the opportunity to design a tiny house that perfectly suits your needs and tastes. Consider your time constraints, budget, and desired level of involvement when deciding between pre-built and custom-built options.

Pre-built tiny houses come in a variety of designs and layouts, making them a great choice for those who prefer a quick and hassle-free solution. They are often constructed with efficiency and functionality in mind, offering all the essential features needed for comfortable living. On the other hand, custom-built tiny houses provide a blank canvas for creativity, allowing you to work closely with designers and builders to create a unique space that reflects your personality and lifestyle preferences.

Legalities and Zoning of Tiny Houses

It is essential to understand the legal considerations and zoning regulations associated with tiny house living before making your purchase.

When delving into the world of tiny houses, it's crucial to consider not only the charm and allure of minimalist living but also the legalities that come with it. Zoning laws play a significant role in determining where you can park or build your tiny house. Each municipality has its own set of regulations, and it's important to do thorough research to ensure compliance. Some areas embrace tiny houses as primary residences, while others may restrict them to being used as accessory dwelling units or vacation homes. Understanding the specific zoning laws in your desired location is key to avoiding potential legal issues down the road.

Understanding Zoning Laws

Each municipality has unique zoning laws and regulations regarding tiny houses. Some areas allow tiny houses as primary residences, while others only permit them as accessory dwelling units or vacation homes. Research local zoning laws and determine whether your intended use aligns with the regulations in your desired location. Additionally, familiarize yourself with any building codes that may apply to tiny houses in your area.

Furthermore, zoning laws may also dictate the size and placement of your tiny house on a property. Some areas have minimum square footage requirements, while others have restrictions on where tiny houses can be parked or built. It's essential to understand these limitations to avoid any potential conflicts with local authorities.

Tiny House Building Codes and Standards

While there is no specific nationwide building code for tiny houses, certain guidelines and standards need to be considered to ensure safety and compliance. These guidelines may include requirements for insulation, plumbing, electricity, and structural integrity. It is essential to consult with professionals and experts in the tiny house industry to ensure that your tiny house meets all necessary codes and standards.

Building a tiny house that adheres to building codes not only ensures your safety and comfort but also helps legitimize the tiny house movement as a viable housing option. By following established standards, you contribute to the overall acceptance and recognition of tiny houses as a sustainable and practical living solution.

Financing a Tiny House

Now that you have a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of buying a tiny house, it is time to explore the financing options available to you.

Traditional and Non-traditional Financing Options

When it comes to financing a tiny house, traditional home loans may not always be readily available due to the unique nature of tiny houses. However, alternative financing options such as personal loans, RV loans, or tiny house-specific loans can be considered. Research different lenders, explore interest rates and repayment terms, and determine which option best suits your financial circumstances.

Cost Breakdown of Tiny Houses

As with any significant purchase, it is essential to understand the cost breakdown of buying a tiny house. The price of a tiny house can vary significantly depending on factors such as size, materials, amenities, and customizations. Be sure to consider all associated costs, including land, utilities, and ongoing maintenance. Create a detailed budget to ensure that you are financially prepared to embark on your tiny house journey.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, buying a tiny house is an exciting and transformative experience. By understanding the philosophy behind the movement, exploring the different types of tiny houses, and navigating the legal and financing considerations, you can make an informed decision and embark on your journey toward a more sustainable and fulfilling lifestyle. As you consider your next steps, GoSun is happy to partner with you in finding the products that fit into a tiny house life. Remember to reflect on your values, assess your lifestyle compatibility, and carefully consider your budget before leaping into tiny house living. Good luck with your adventure!

Starship’s Successful Test Moves SpaceX One Step Closer to Mars

SpaceX has completed a mostly successful fourth test of its revolutionary new Starship rocket, a key step toward returning humans to the Moon and, maybe one day, landing on Mars.

The flight, integrated flight test 4, lifted off today from SpaceX’s Boca Chica test site in Texas at 7:50 am Central time. Standing 233 feet (71 meters) tall, the rocket and its 33 methane-fueled Raptor engines roared to life, raising Starship—the largest rocket in history—into the sky over the Gulf of Mexico from the test site, called Starbase.

“Today’s test was the clearest success to date,” says Abhi Tripathi, a former mission director at SpaceX and now an aerospace engineer at the Space Science Laboratory at UC Berkeley. “It was amazing.”

Although one of the engines failed (Starship is designed with redundancy in mind in case of engine failures), the rocket’s journey to space passed smoothly. This was the third time a Starship vehicle had reached space and the second time it had reached suborbit, the other being the last test flight, IFT-3, in March.

Starship is composed of two parts, a lower section known as the Super Heavy booster and the upper section, Starship itself, which will one day house as many as 100 humans on trips to the moon and Mars. Three minutes into today’s flight, at an altitude of about 48 miles (78 kilometers), the two sections separated as planned, with Super Heavy then beginning its journey back to Earth.

Once Starship is fully operational, the goal is for each Super Heavy booster (and Starship) to land back at the launch site, where they will be caught by giant “chopsticks” on the launch tower, ready for another flight. Before SpaceX is comfortable attempting this, however, it wants to prove Super Heavy can return to Earth safely. So one of the key goals of today’s test was for the booster to descend toward the Gulf of Mexico, relight 13 of its engines, and gently splash down.

That test was passed flawlessly for the first time, with the booster splashing down seven and a half minutes into the mission. “That booster landing on the ocean was phenomenal,” says Laura Forczyk, a space consultant and founder of the George-based firm Astralytical. “That gives us confidence that SpaceX can make Starship reusable.”

Starship’s journey into space continued, with the vehicle making its way over the Atlantic Ocean, southern Africa, and toward the Indian Ocean, reaching a peak altitude of 132 miles—half the orbital height of the International Space Station—about 24 minutes into the flight.

From here it then began its own journey back into Earth’s atmosphere, in an attempt to also perform a vertical test landing on the ocean. This task is much harder for Starship, however; traveling at some 17,000 miles per hour, the vehicle must contend with temperatures of 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit (1,400 degrees Celsius) when it hits the atmosphere.

The bottom of the spacecraft is coated in heat tiles to displace this heat, but on Starship’s last test flight in March the vehicle broke apart at an altitude of about 40 miles because of the intensity of reentry. This time SpaceX was hoping to make it all the way to the ocean, with two of the tiles also removed to see how the vehicle itself coped with the high temperatures.

The reentry was smooth until about 57 minutes into the flight, when one of the two flaps that Starship uses to orient itself in the atmosphere caught fire. Onboard camera footage showed the fin being ripped apart, cracking the camera in the process, as Starship plummeted to Earth. “We can see pieces of the vehicle flying off,” Kate Tice, senior quality engineering manager at SpaceX, said in a livestream of the launch.

Incredibly the vehicle survived and, about one hour and six minutes into the mission, Starship attempted its own vertical landing at sea. While the exact fate is unclear, the landing burn of Starship’s engines appeared to be mostly successful, and the vehicle gently impacted the ocean in an upright position. “It got a lot further than the previous flights,” says Tripathi. “It made it all the way to the ocean. That’s a great success.”

However, Tripathi says there is clearly still some work to do with Starship’s thermal protection system to ensure it can survive the heat of reentry. “We all saw there is still a ways to go there,” he says. “The flap was pretty damaged and battered.”

Starship’s next test flight, pending regulatory approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, could happen in a matter of weeks. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in an update from Starbase in April that the company may attempt landing Super Heavy back on the ground rather than at sea if Starship Flight 4 went smoothly, which it appears to have done so, with those two giant chopstick-like arms catching the booster in midair.

“If the landing on the ‘virtual tower’ with the booster works, we will actually try with flight five to come back and land on the tower,” Musk said. “It is in the realm of possibility.” That simulated landing successfully happened over the Gulf of Mexico today.

Next year, SpaceX then hopes to prove it can transfer fuel between two Starships in space, a key milestone to getting Starship ready to go to the moon. To reach the moon, a Starship will need to refuel in space, and placing a refueling depot in orbit and filling it with sufficient fuel could require more than a dozen Starship launches . NASA’s return to the moon—its Artemis III mission—aims to use Starship to take humans to the lunar surface in September 2026.

That might still be a longer way off. “I do not have confidence that Artemis III will launch in September 2026, for multiple reasons, not just Starship,” says Forczyk. But today’s test shows that Starship is at least heading in the right direction, and perhaps one day, might become the giant, rapidly reusable rocket that Musk envisions can make humans a multiplanetary species.

“From the beginning of the program we’ve designed Starship to land on Mars,” said Jessica Anderson, manufacturing engineering manager at SpaceX, in the livestream of the fourth test, “something we know will take launching millions of pounds of cargo and equipment into space spread across thousands of launches.” Starship Flight 4, it seems, is another step in that direction.
