SpaceX had to cancel the first orbital test flight of its Starship spacecraft on Monday. However, the launch of another Starship was successful: the company has the Starship Torch brought on the market.
For cheap 175 Dollar (approx. 160 euros) interested parties can register Miniatur-Starship from the SpaceX-Shop buy, which shoots a jet of flame from the rear. The gimmick is thought of as Flambierbrenner for the kitchen. “Sometimes you just want to caramelize the sugar on a crème brûlée or melt cheese,” the distiller is advertised on the website.
1:200 scale model of the real Starship
The torch is a 1/200 scale model of the 50 Meter high second stage of the Starship, without the almost 70 meter high Booster “Super Heavy”. The Starship Torch can not only be used in the kitchen, but also outside, for example to light candles, a fireplace or a campfire. That’s what the flame is for wind resistant.
As “fuel” uses the burner Bunga, i.e. conventional lighter gas. If the tank is empty, it can of course be refilled.
Merch als PR-Gag
SpaceX founder Elon Musk is known for selling unusual merchandise as a PR stunt. Here’s how Musk’s company did “The Boring Company” with a Perfume talking about themselves that smell like burnt hair. Most recently, he offered his own beer, the bottle of which should be reminiscent of the design of a cybertruck.
But not only Tesla tries with the so-called “Gigabier” To make a profit. The limited set available on the company’s website 89 Euro costs, is already offered at Willhaben for up to 379 euros.
