About This Quiz

You were just trying to impress your friends by casually name-dropping “Falcon Heavy” when someone hit you with, “Yeah? What’s its thrust-to-weight ratio?” Panic. Silence. Existential crisis. If you’ve ever nodded along to rocket talk without actually knowing what a booster does or think “Raptor” is just a dinosaur, it’s time to fix that.

This SpaceX Launch Quiz isn’t just for fanboys in Teslas — it’s a crash course in launch logistics, Elon antics, and real-world rocket smarts. From payloads to pad explosions, it’s got all the fire (sometimes literally). Whether you're a future Martian or just here for the memes, buckle up. It’s lift-off time.
