Spacex Starship Lands successfully for the first time to explode minutes later

The third time lucky.Spacex has successfully landed its gigantic starship ship for the first time.After rising in the heavens, the SN10 prototype has returned to the earth's surface and has been placed standing on the mainland.Of course, minutes later it has flown through the air.

The last starship prototype, the SN10, has successfully carried out the great altitude test.The rocket rose almost ten kilometers in the air after a problem without problems.Then it was a matter of descending by doing the famous 'Belly Flop' in which the rocket is bitten.A meters from the surface, it was placed vertically again and descended softly until it touched the ground.

But it was soon to sing Victoria, Elon Musk's ship, when everything seemed to be over, suddenly exploding through the air on the launch platform.They have not yet clarified why this has happened.

The main objective of Starship prototypes for now is to demonstrate how the controlled movements of the fins and the propellants work to place the rocket vertically and land.That is, the 'Bellyflop' maneuver in which the rocket passes from a horizontal position to a vertical.Then the three raptor engines of the base are responsible for stopping the descent as much as possible.

Previously Spacex tried both with a half prototype built and with SN8.The first rose a few meters and descended back, the second several kilometers and when descending back and touching land exploded.In this case the new prototype advances a little more and gets the landing successful.

Starship plans are as big as the ship itself.Elon Musk, in his vision of colonizing Mars, considers using the Starship for interplanetary trips.It is a ship large enough to transport humans to long distances and especially to land and take off back.

Before colonizing Mars, the starship is going to take humans to the moon.Precisely yesterday we received news about how the trip is going to be in 2023 and within a starship.A trip that has 8 free seats with everything paid and that will be raffled.After that Mars, with plans to send one million people to Mars for 2050.
