How to Watch Starship Rocket Launch Test Today 20th April 2023 in India Elon Musk SpaceX second attempt

Elon Musk’s space company ‘SpaceX’ is going to test its Starship Rocket again today. It is said to be the most powerful rocket in the world. The company made its first attempt to launch the Starship rocket on April 17, but due to a technical glitch at the last minute, the mission had to be postponed. If this test is successful today, the company will create history. Space agencies around the world have their eyes on this mission. This launch test can be seen live from India also.

According to reports, 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.

If everything goes according to plan today, the ‘Super Heavy Booster’ will separate from the starship about 8 minutes after the rocket takes off. It will fall into the ocean 20 miles from the launch site. At the same time, the flight of the Starship rocket will continue. The approximately 90-minute spaceflight will land in the Pacific Ocean about 60 miles northwest of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands. It is believed that one day humans will travel to Mars only through Starship rocket. Elon Musk has already said that there is a 50 percent chance of the Starship exploding during launch. He had said that the launch ‘will not be boring’.
