Gadgets 360 Hindi team was watching this launch test live. The rocket exploded minutes after taking off from a launchpad in South Texas, USA, on Thursday evening. This was the world’s most powerful rocket, which was launch tested for the first time. Starship failed to reach its orbit.
Elon Musk was also monitoring this launch test. It cannot be said that he was sad, but there was no smile on his face. Through a tweet, he congratulated the team of Starship. Musk has written that a lot has been learned today for the next test launch.
Starship is a reusable rocket. It mainly has two parts. The first is the passenger carry section, which will house the passengers, while the second is the super heavy rocket booster. Its length including the starship and booster is 394 feet (120 meters). While the weight is 50 lakh kg. According to the information, the Starship rocket is capable of generating a thrust of 16 million pounds (70 meganewtons). This is almost twice as much as NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
It is believed that one day humans will travel to Mars only through Starship rocket. In future, with the help of this rocket, humans and essential equipment can be taken to the Moon and Mars. If this happens, humans will not be limited to just Earth but will become a multi-planetary species.
