SpaceX launches Super Heavy-Starship rocket on 3rd test flight | full video

SpaceX is launching its first Starship test of 2024 Thursday from Boca Chica, Texas, hoping for a historic orbital flight for the biggest, most powerful rocket ever built. Two previous test flights have ended with self-destructions.

How? The shuttle landed on its 1st mission? SpaceX actually hasn’t accomplished anything not done before.

[@user-qr3ve9ty1u]

your joking right? The falcon 9 has been rapidly reusable for over 8 years now. Not one company in the world is able to reuse a booster. With starship, they have launched the largest man made object to orbit, something that is twice as powerful as the Saturn V. And Just because this mission wasn't 100% complete doesn't mean there weren't massive accomplishments made.@@adamc5057

[@cristalle-iz9yt]

My first memory was watching the first moon landing at 5 years of age and I get just as excited watching SpaceX getting closer and closer to moon and mars missions. I believe the best chance for the human race to survive into the future is to be a multi planet and space bound species because the Earth is more fragile than we think. One big astroid, one stupid finger on a nuclear trigger, a solar or space burst, or even the Earth having a major hiccup is all it takes to cripple or end the Earthlings. Keep going strong SpaceX!

all that because one guy decided to change humanity and invest his money toward that goal. elon musk is a genius and he is like a magnet for genius too. the way he is able to hire always the best in the domain and the way he micro manage everything is formidable. just hear what the engineers from nasa say about musk, that guy is probably the most intelligent guy on earth right now

Hold on, I still don't know what happened. What happened to the booster? Did it survive?

[@adamhall3344]

No, and it was never supposed to. They aimed to have it make a soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, although only two of the planned 13 engines relit for that final burn that was supposed to slow it down for the soft landing. So they will be making some booster upgrades for their next test flight to try to fix whatever went wrong.

just with the successful launch and bay doors opening and closing ok this rocket is capable putting 200 tons in orbit. to put that in perspective, the entire iss with all its additions after all these years circling the earth weighs 465 tons. so already they have proven they could have another iss in orbit with 2 launches !!!

To get to Mars it can’t explode. Stop saying failures are successes.

[@adamhall3344]

Everyone with an ounce of understanding realizes that Mars is still a long way off. There have been 3 test flights, and there will be several more. At present they are just trying to work out the kinks of getting both the booster and the upper stage back to earth in one piece so that they can be reused and hugely bring down the cost of each launch. Each test launch has been successively better than the previous one. If they get to a point where they quit improving things with each test launch, then you can start to talk about failure.

You sound like a biased Leftist who wants Musk to fail. Do us and society a favor, stay indoors and don't go outside in case you fail to walk in a straight line...
