The sky has changed dramatically!Musk congratulated the Starship on its failed launch, and the loss of contact with the rocket shocked the world.
Known as Silicon Valley"Iron Man"Musk is not only rich, but also has an obsessive craze for technology. Although he can't take to the skies in his armor, the company he founded SpaceX has completed one high-profile rocket launch after another. Currently, SpaceX is working on the largest launch vehicle program in human history, but after the second launch plan failed again and the second stage of the rocket ** was lost, Musk sent a congratulatory message.
Musk's"Starship"Rocket.
In 2002, Musk founded SpaceX, a space exploration technology company focused on developing space space technology and building launch vehicles. SpaceX's manned spacecraft"Crew Dragon"Crewdragon has successfully carried out a series of manned missions, making it possible to travel to and from the International Space Station, as well as private space tourism.
SpaceX has also made significant technological advances, such as the use of rockets, which have greatly reduced the cost of rocket launches. In addition,"Starlink"The implementation of the satellite program has made satellite internet a reality"Starlink"Satellites enable users to connect to the internet from any corner of the planet.
Of course, these are only part of the SpaceX project, which is currently performing launches"Starship"The task of the rocket, which is a reusable super-heavy launch vehicle. If"Starship"With the successful launch of the rocket into orbit, SpaceX is on track to complete the project, whether it's transporting supplies into space or landing humans on Mars.
Starship is the largest launch vehicle in human history, with a height of more than 30 floors and a thrust of 300 tons, which is more than 50% higher than other rockets. The success of this rocket launch mission is undoubtedly the focus of the world's attention, and its success or failure is related to whether mankind can conquer more distant space and send humans to Mars and other planets.
To date, Starfleet has flown two launch missions, both of which ended in failure, but also with great success.
Starship failures and successes.
Some time ago, Starfleet carried out the first orbital-stage launch mission, although the ignition and launch were successful, but two minutes after launch, the six engines of the Raptor stalled, causing the rocket attitude to go out of control. 3 minutes and 50 seconds later"Starship"Rocket ** disintegrated.
Musk did not give up, and after several months of adjustments, the second launch of the Starship rocket was scheduled to take place some time ago. The launch also failed, but the situation was different.
Specifically,"Starship"Successfully launched, all 33 engines started normally, and the first engine did not stop. Subsequently, the rocket completed the separation of the first and second stages, and after the booster completed the separation, the engine continued to work normally and was launched into space.
However, the second stage of the rocket malfunctioned, and SpaceX eventually lost contact with the Starship rocket due to **. SpaceX confirmed that Starship triggered the self-destruct system, which also meant that Starship's second launch mission failed.
Even so, Musk sent a congratulatory message. Failure is the mother of success, though"Starship"The rocket ended in failure, but compared to the first launch mission, the second"Starship"Clearly a lot of progress has been made.
The engine did not stop, the first and second stages of the rocket separated normally, and the engine on top of the booster was also in normal ignition before the fall. There is no doubt that the launch of the second part of the Starship mission was a great success.
It is reported that Musk will continue to carry out the third time"Starship"Whether the launch mission will succeed is still unknown, but Musk's courage and perseverance in fighting for space are admirable.
