World’s largest SpaceX rocket explodes during test flight

Washington: SpaceX’s Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, exploded on Thursday during its first test flight. The Starship capsule was scheduled to detach from the three-minute first-stage rocket booster of the flight, but the separation did not occur and the rocket exploded.

Significantly, it was believed that one day humans would travel to Mars through the Startup Rocket. However, Elon Musk had already expressed fears that there is a 50 percent chance of the Starship exploding during the launch.

According to the information, the Starship was a reusable rocket. It mainly had two parts. The first was the passenger carry section in which the passengers will stay, while the second – was a super heavy rocket booster. Its length, including the starter and booster, was 394 feet (120 meters). While the weight was 50 lakh kg. According to the information, the Starship rocket was capable of generating a thrust of 1.6 million pounds (70 meganewtons). This was almost twice as high as NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
