The owner of SpaceX, Elon Musk, and his long-awaited rocket Starship, which has been called the “world’s most powerful rocket”, tried to launch into space today. Starship’s launch attempt was made from Boca Chica, Texas, at around 4:34 p.m. Turkish time.
THINGS GO WORLD AT THAT POINT
In the live broadcast of SpaceX, it was seen that the rocket was successfully launched and went up many kilometers.
However, at the point where the booster tried to leave the upper tier, things went wrong and the booster began to roll, then exploded.
The fact that the rocket is lifted off the ground is just a start. The company will most likely evaluate what went right and what went wrong, and then give it another try.
EXPLANATION FROM SPACEX
SpaceX has been briefed on what happened in the final moments after the Starship exploded a few minutes after takeoff.
As if the flight test was not exciting enough, Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly before stage separation
