Gadgets 360 Hindi team was watching the launch test live. The rocket exploded minutes after taking off from a launchpad in South Texas, US on Thursday evening. It was the world’s most powerful rocket, which was launched for the first time. Starship failed to reach its orbit.
Alan Musk was also monitoring this launch test. It cannot be said that he was dejected, but the smile was not on his face. Through a tweet, he has 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 is where the passengers will stay, while the second is the Super Heavy Rocket Booster. Including the starship and booster, its length is 394 feet (120 m). While the weight is 50 lakh kg. According to information, the Starship rocket is capable of generating 16 million pounds (70 meganewtons) of thrust. This is almost twice as high as NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
It is believed that one day humans will travel to Mars only through the Starship rocket. In the future, with the help of this rocket, humans and essential equipment can be taken to the Moon and Mars. If this happens, human beings will not be limited to the earth only and will become a multiplanetary species.
