Tuesday's launch is part of SpaceX's iterative approach to engineering. With each mission, the company evaluates the data, makes adjustments to the spacecraft, and builds upon its previous successes and lessons learned from failures. Those flight test learnings are applied to future vehicles and missions until Starship is ready for passengers. ส

At nearly 400 feet tall, SpaceX says the Starship and its booster are the most powerful rocket system ever developed. And unlike the company's partially reusable Falcon 9, SpaceX aims for Starship to be fully reusable and capable of launching, landing and flying again with minimal maintenance. สล็อตเว็บตรง

Mounted atop a Super Heavy rocket that's powered by 33 Raptor engines, the uncrewed Starship successfully lifted off from SpaceX's Starbase test facility in South Texas just after 7:30 p.m. ET. The sound of the building shaking was audible as all 33 engines lit on the powerful rocket that propelled Starship past the tower and into its planned subor

The company posted a statement on X reading, "As if the flight test was not exciting enough, Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly. Teams will continue to review data and work toward our next flight test. With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today's test will help us improve Starship's reliability as SpaceX

Without the ability to steer the craft, SpaceX said it re-entered Earth's atmosphere at an angle that is not ideal for its heat shield. As a result, most of it was expected to burn up, with the remaining pieces falling into the Indian Ocean. The company said it cleared a large area of the landing zone to ensure public safety. สล็อตเว
