Just as we humans need food to survive and thrive, a rocket can't get humans out of this orbit without fuel in it.
This is why NASA is building the world’s Largest Liquid Hydrogen Tank storage tank at launch pad 39B at NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. With a usable capacity of 4,732 m3 (1.25 Mgal), this new vessel is roughly 50% larger than its sister tank, which is located 170 m (550 ft) to the southeast. Once the new sphere is fully commissioned, these two tanks will provide a combined LH2 storage capacity of 7,950 m3 (2.1 Mgal) to fuel the new Space Launch System rocket supporting future Artemis exploration missions to the moon and Mars.
So, in the case of Starship, a rocket more powerful than NASA SLS with the ability to carry in excess of 100 metric tonnes to Earth orbit, where will SpaceX store enough fuel for this monster launch 3 times per day?
Welcome back to the Alpha tech. We’d also like to take the time to thank you for your continued support of our channel.
Let’s grab your favorite drink and dive into today's interesting topic:” Why SpaceX tank farm is more important than you thought?”

Starship is a fully-reusable, two-stage liquid rocket designed to ultimately cut the cost of orbital launch by at least one magnitude, opening the door for humanity’s sustainable expansion to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and even beyond. To accomplish that lofty feat, it has to be a massive rocket. Measuring approximately 120m (~395 ft) tall and 9m (~30 ft) wide, Starship and Super Heavy will weigh on the order of 300 metric tons (~675,000 lb) when empty.

Once filled to the brim with cryogenic liquid methane (CH4) and liquid oxygen (LOx) propellant and gas, though, a two-stage Starship will easily weigh more than 5000 tons (11 million lb) shortly before and after liftoff. Further, SpaceX wants to be able to launch at least two Starships from Boca Chica in rapid succession. To meet the staggering needs of back-to-back Starship launches, SpaceX has thus had to design and build what will be the world’s largest launch pad tank farm.
