The old name of the starship was Big Falcon Rocket (BFR). However, Musk declared the name change via twitter in November.

The BFR was designed for people to travel to Mars. Now, SpaceX plans to use it for sending passengers around the moon in the future.

Musk says testing of the new rocket design is likely to start next month.
