The biggest space rocket ever developed blew up over the ocean
Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship – the biggest and most powerful space rocket ever developed – has exploded minutes after blasting off. The launch, which took place from SpaceX’s Starbase in Texas, came after a stuck valve forced a launch attempt on Monday to be aborted.
SpaceX tweeted: “As if the flight test was not exciting enough, Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly before stage separation.”It added that lessons learned from the mission will help improve Starship’s reliability. Musk tweeted that the team had “learned a lot for next test launch in a few months.”
SpaceX says Starship will be able to carry up to 100 people on long-duration interplanetary flights, taking Musk one step closer to his goal of enabling the human colonization of Mars. It will also enable the delivery of satellites and the development of a moon base, and point-to-point transport on Earth – allowing travel to anywhere in the world in one hour or less.
