Elon Musk’s Starship rocket explodes three minutes after liftoff

The rocket Starship made by US dollar billionaire Elon Musk’s company SpaceX has exploded during a test flight.

According to the BBC, the Starship rocket, which is said to be the most powerful so far, exploded in the sky three minutes after it took off from the Texas test center in the United States.

The spacecraft was designed to take astronauts to the moon, Mars and other similar long space missions. It was an ambitious project of Elon Musk along with the explosion.

The first stage of the Starship rocket’s capsule had to separate from the rocket booster three minutes after takeoff. Then the rocket exploded and the test flight failed.

Earlier last Monday, the test of this aircraft was postponed at the last minute.

On the other hand, Elon Musk has said that the company will conduct another flight test in the next 2 months.

Even though there was an explosion during Thursday’s flight test, SpaceX engineers are not tired. They will sharpen themselves again and prepare for a new flight test,” he said. “We have also prepared the second starship for flight.”
