SpaceX’s next important product, Starship, finally conducted its first test launch today following several months of delays. Although it successfully took off from the launch tower, it did not complete the process of separating the propulsion rocket but exploded in the air.
According to SpaceX, this test launch is the first launch attempt of Starship, mainly to test whether it can successfully take off from the ground and obtain more data for future development. After that, if the entire procedure of entering orbit is really completed, it will be an extra success. In the end, Starship and the Super Heavy propulsion rocket successfully took off at SpaceX’s Boca Chica launch site, but then failed to separate the propulsion rocket and Starship as planned, and exploded following a few laps in the air.
According to SpaceX’s live video, the staff at the scene cheered following the rocket exploded, because the take-off steps had indeed been completed, but Elon Musk said on Twitter that everyone should not expect too much, but did not cheer at the time.
