SpaceX Elon Musk's company has developed the world's largest rocket for trips to the moon and Mars, the Starship. On its first test flight, the rocket exploded shortly after takeoff. The goal was to collect data to improve future prototypes. The president of NASA praised SpaceX, stating that every great achievement in history has required some level of calculated risk. In this video, we will discuss the event and explain the reasons for the failure. Hello, welcome to our channel. In today's video, we will talk about the world's largest rocket, the Starship, developed by Elon Musk's SpaceX. Unfortunately, on its first test flight, the rocket exploded shortly after takeoff. In this video, we will explain the reasons for the failure and talk about the implications for the company and NASA. On Thursday, April 20, 2023, SpaceX conducted the first test flight of the Starship, the world's largest rocket. The goal of the test was to collect as much data as possible to improve future prototypes. The rocket took off at 8.30 a.m. from Starbase, SpaceX's spaceport in Boca Chica, Texas, amid cheers from employees. However, shortly after takeoff, the rocket exploded. According to SpaceX, the Starship spacecraft, which constitutes the second stage of the rocket, was supposed to detach from the launcher three minutes after takeoff. However, it experienced multiple engine failures during the test flight, lost altitude, and began to plummet. The in-flight destruction system was activated on both the launcher and the spacecraft. This is a routine procedure in case the falling object poses a danger. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson praised SpaceX and said that every great achievement in history has required some level of calculated risk. The U.S. Space Agency has chosen the Starship to transport astronauts to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo program ended in 1972. The mission, known as Artemis III, is scheduled for the end of 2025. The Starship is the world's largest rocket, standing at 120 meters tall, surpassing the legendary Saturn V, the rocket from the Apollo Lunar program, which was 111 meters tall. It features a powerful first stage, called the Super Heavy, equipped with 33 engines and a second stage, the Homanema spacecraft, which gave its name to the entire rocket. Elon Musk, the owner of SpaceX, expects a new launch in the coming months. He had already moderated expectations, saying that it was unlikely to achieve orbit on the first test flight. He indicated that he hoped that at least the launch platform would not be destroyed by the engine explosion. The test flight of the Starship, the world's largest rocket developed by the American company SpaceX, was highly anticipated by space exploration enthusiasts and experts. The expectation was that the rocket would successfully perform its first full test flight, with the Super Heavy and the Starship spacecraft flying together. However, the test ended in an explosion shortly after takeoff. SpaceX explained that the spacecraft experienced multiple engine failures and lost altitude, which led to the in-flight destruction system being activated on both the launcher and the spacecraft. Despite the negative test result, SpaceX's owner Elon Musk celebrated the achievement of the company's team and stated that the flight served to collect important data to improve future prototypes. He also emphasized that the company learned a lot from a launch attempt and is optimistic about the next test, which is expected to take place in the coming months. The Starship's mission is to take astronauts to the Moon and Mars, and the spacecraft has already been chosen by the US Space Agency NASA to transport the astronauts.
