The FAA has Starship on their launch calendar! The biggest step towards colonizing Mars is perhaps a week away. But the question remains: why are humans going to make the choice to spend the rest of their lives on such a hostile planet? Well, for the main reasons that humans do anything.

--o-O-o--

While 75 more items of action must be completed to reduce the ecological impact of the surrounding environment from Starship launches, this means Musk's aims to send humans to Mars — in addition to SpaceX's forthcoming missions with NASA to return humans to the moon — is finally locked down.

So strap in, and prepare for the next phase of Space Race 2.0.

• SpaceX's Starship is Cleared for its path to Mars

As a next-generation launch system, SpaceX's Starship will be a central pillar of NASA's Artemis project, which aims to return humans to the moon, and take us even farther into deep space. Most crucially, to build a settlement on Mars. But now, with the FAA's approval, Musk's firm has a gateway to this future on its hands.

This isn't without a few provisos — for one, SpaceX must give earlier notice of its launches. It must also take care to monitor the effects on wildlife and vegetation of the region by coordinating biologists with state and federal agencies, while ensuring that all launch debris is safely removed from sensitive habitats. Notably, lighting in the region must be adjusted to reduce its impact on wildlife, in addition to a nearby beach.

The FAA's measures also demand SpaceX limit its closures of a highway that's near the launch site so that ordinary people can still go to the nearby beach, park, and enjoy the wildlife refuge. One wonders why Elon Musk wanted to build a giant rocket launch facility near a wildlife refuge, but these things happen. Regardless, the FAA said the highway couldn't be shut down on 18 holidays, in addition to no more than five weekends annually.

This might sound like a lot to some, but make no mistake: The FAA's decision could have enforced an even more cohesive environmental review — potentially adding months to years of waiting before Starship could get its proverbial legs off the ground. But SpaceX could face even more regulatory steps and legal obstacles. For example, it has yet to obtain a license from the FAA to actually launch (although these are far less daunting).

• SpaceX's Starship will Soon Soar into Orbit

SpaceX has been developing its Starship launch system in the tiny town of Boca Chica, Texas, for years. There, preceding variants of the stainless steel juggernaut have hopped, flopped, flipped, and exploded in glorious blazes of hellish fire repeatedly — that sounds serious, but these attempts were necessary to attune and refine the most powerful rocket ever built. Combined with its booster stage (also called a "fully stacked Starship"), the erect launch system reaches nearly 400 ft (121.02 m) high.

In case you missed it that's taller than the Statue of Liberty and its giant pedestal, in New York City. Starship is also completely reusable, unlike any other orbital rocket. This could save unspeakable riches for SpaceX, Musk — and by proxy, U.S. taxpayers, whose money helps subsidize the billionaire space baron's dreams in the form of lucrative contracts with NASA, the U.S. military, and other wings of the federal government.

Soon, Elon Musk's SpaceX will launch the fully stacked Starship from Boca Chica, and it will zoom above the Gulf of Mexico, using its proximity to the Earth's Equator to aid its journey to orbit by adding the planet's own rotational velocity to that of the rocket. So don't look away, because Space Race 2.0 is about to take its biggest step in years.

Elon Musk Just LEAKED NASA’s Recent Discovery On Mars That Defies All Logic!

It never gets old watching a man-made helicopter's rotors throw up dust from the Martian surface. Neither does point-of-view video of the helicopter returning to the ground without incident, which has happened 48 times in a row. On April 3, 2021, the Ingenuity helicopter was placed on the surface of Mars by the Perseverance rover. The initial plan for the proof-of-concept helicopter mission was for it to run for just 30 days, making a paltry five flights that would fly up to 10 to 16 feet (3 to 5 meters) in the air and last up to 90 seconds each. Now, 720 days later, Ingenuity has performed its 48th flight, reaching a height of 39 feet (12 meters), covering 1,306 feet (398 meters), and remaining in the air for 149.9 seconds, according to the flight log. And just recently, Perseverance and Ingenuity just witnessed this shocking discovery. What exactly is it? Let’s find out!

Since the 1960s, mankind has fantasized about voyages to Mars. Although we have deployed three robots, we have not yet sent a human to the surface. Over the past ten years, our knowledge of the planet has expanded dramatically.

Elon Musk predicts that we will be there before the year 2025, but how? What transpires when people arrive on the surface? How do we make the red planet a place for habitation and how do we survive there?

On February 18, NASA's Perseverance rover successfully completed its voyage to Mars and survived a perilous landing to reach the red planet's surface. The next-generation rover and its sidekick, the experimental helicopter Ingenuity, have ushered in a new age of planetary research.

The first vehicle to achieve powered, controlled flight on another planet, Ingenuity, is a technological demonstration. Perseverance has a wider, grander goal, one that has the potential to profoundly revolutionize our knowledge of the universe. It's looking for evidence of past life on Mars.

Mars was originally considerably different from what we see today. The arid and dusty Jezero Crater, which once probably held a lake, is home to humanity's newest rover. It is the ideal location to investigate the geologic history of the planet and search for evidence of ancient microorganisms on Mars. Drilling into rocks and obtaining samples is one method Perseverance does

The rover successfully obtained its first sample in September by drilling a core from a rock known as Rochette and sealing it inside a tube. The fact that the sample might one day be collected and returned to Earth made this a historic event. In order to bring the rover's samples back to Earth for scientists to examine in person in the 2030s, NASA is preparing an ambitious expedition.

Perseverance continued to collect a second sample from Rochette. An early examination of the rock has already led to a deeper comprehension of the Jezero Crater's history. In the past, it most likely had a lengthy history of holding water. According to Perseverance project scientist Ken Farley, the first rocks appear to show a possibly viable sustained environment. That's fantastic news for those looking for evidence of bacteria.

Elon Musk FINALLY CONFIRMED Starship’s First Orbital Launch!

We've been waiting over two years to see Elon Musk launch his massive rocket once more, and now the SpaceX founder is beginning to target a specific time period for Starship's initial orbital attempt. Last Monday, the controversial billionaire tweeted that the upcoming spacecraft that will carry men to the moon and perhaps establish a society on Mars "will be ready to launch. Stay tuned!

• Within the next few weeks, SpaceX's gigantic next-generation Starship spacecraft might launch on its first orbital test mission.

The historic mission will launch from SpaceX's Starbase launch complex in South Texas somewhere in the middle to late of April, according to current plans.

Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX, said via Twitter on Thursday that SpaceX would be prepared to launch Starship in a few weeks. "Launch timing depends on FAA license approval, which presumably takes a few weeks; the first launch attempt will be near the end of the third week of April, aka...," he added, referring to the United States. the Federal Aviation Administration.

By the way, the "aka..." part is probably a reference to the potential that Starship could open on April 20, which is a kind of holiday for the cannabis culture. Musk enjoys making jokes and references to 4/20.

• Elon Musk claims that SpaceX has a 50% chance of successfully entering orbit on its first attempt.

Prior flight tests of the Starship upper stage were only conducted at heights of around 6 miles (10 km) above the surface of the planet. The Starship prototype put on some remarkable belly-flop maneuvers and made some impressive (and occasionally explosive) landings during those testing.

But SpaceX won't really attempt to get Starship into orbit until April's orbital test flight. The company's Super Heavy booster stage will also be launched for the first time. This does not imply that orbital space will be reached by the spacecraft.

Starship presumably has a 50% chance of entering orbit on its first try, according to Musk's recent observation. The CEO of Maverick said, "I can't promise it will reach orbit, but I can promise excitement.

• Everything you need to know about SpaceX’s Starship Megarocket!

With its astonishingly dependable Falcon 9 rocket, SpaceX is currently ruling the spaceflight sector. Elon Musk established the highly revolutionary corporation in 2002, and it is now getting ready to make its next enormous leap with the launch of the Starship rocket. And let's take a deep dive into what we presently know about this megarocket in order to better comprehend it and how it might transform spaceflight as we currently know it.

• Why is SpaceX building a Starship?

According to the company, SpaceX is working to create a fully reusable heavy-lift launch vehicle for sending people, cargo, and spacecraft to "Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond." Starship is expected to exceed NASA's Saturn V and Space Launch System (SLS) to become the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built.

Due to its high lifting power, big payload capacity, and ability to be reused (which decreases launch costs), the megarocket will have a major impact on the commercial spaceflight market once it is in operation.

Why Mars?

At an average distance of 140 million miles, Mars is one of Earth's closest habitable neighbors. Mars is about half again as far from the Sun as Earth is, so it still has decent sunlight. It is a little cold, but we can warm it up. Its atmosphere is primarily CO2 with some nitrogen and argon and a few other trace elements, which means that we can grow plants on Mars just by compressing the atmosphere. Gravity on Mars is about 38% of that of Earth, so you would be able to lift heavy things and bound around. Furthermore, the day is remarkably close to that of Earth.

Diameter 6,791 km / 4,220 mi Day Length 24 hrs 37 min Force of Gravity 38% of Earth Avg Distance from Earth 225Mkm / 140Mmi Age 4.5 billion years

• Starship

SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket – collectively referred to as Starship – represent a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond. Starship will be the world’s most powerful launch vehicle ever developed, capable of carrying up to 150 metric tonnes fully reusable and 250 metric tonnes expendable.

• Learn More about Starship
  

• To Mars and back

Together the Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket create a reusable transportation system capable of on orbit refueling and leveraging Mars’ natural H2O and CO2 resources to refuel on the surface of Mars.

• Earth Mars Power:

01. LAUNCH & BOOSTER RETURN
02. SHIP ARRIVES IN EARTH ORBIT
03. TANKERS REFILL SHIP AND RETURN TO EARTH
04. REFILLED SHIP TRAVELS TO MARS
05. SHIP REFILLED ON MARS USING LOCAL RESOURCES
06. SHIP PERFORMS MARS ASCEND & DIRECT RETURN TO EARTH

• On-Orbit Refilling:

Starship leverages tanker vehicles (essentially the Starship spacecraft minus the windows) to refill the Starship spacecraft in low-Earth orbit prior to departing for Mars. Refilling on-orbit enables the transport of up to 100 tons all the way to Mars. And if the tanker ship has high reuse capability, the primary cost is just that of the oxygen and methane, which is extremely low.

• Landing On Mars:

Starship will enter Mars’ atmosphere at 7.5 kilometers per second and decelerate aerodynamically. The vehicle’s heat shield is designed to withstand multiple entries, but given that the vehicle is coming into Mars’ atmosphere so hot, we still expect to see some ablation of the heat shield (similar to wear and tear on a brake pad). The engineering video below simulates the physics of Mars entry for Starship.

• World's most powerful rocket, made by Elon Musk's SpaceX, to make its maiden orbital flight next week.

SpaceX's Starship rocket is the most powerful rocket ever made and is planned to take humans to Mars. Furthermore, the spaceship will also be used in the Artemis mission to the moon.


SpaceX's Starship rocket is the most powerful rocket ever made and is planned to take humans to Mars. Furthermore, the spaceship will also be used in the Artemis mission to the moon.

SpaceX has been making some serious strides with its rocketships over the years. Yes, there have been many instances when things went horribly wrong for them, but all in all they are the most successful startup in aerospace right now.

After years of anticipation, SpaceX’s Starship, a rocket that was developed using £2.4 billion or roughly $3 billion is finally set to take its first orbital journey. SpaceX’s Starship is also supposed to be the rocket that will one day transport people to Mars.

• Taking off

According to the US’ Federal Aviation Administration or the FAA, the Starship rocket will take off from SpaceX’s facility in Boca Chica, Texas, on Monday, April 10. However, despite the fact that the event is only five days away, Elon Musk’s company still requires a launch permit, which SpaceX and FAA believe will be granted by Monday.

Musk has already cautioned that there’s a 50 per cent possibility that Starship will explode during lift-off, adding that the launch “won’t be boring.” The historic flight of SpaceX will serve as an early milestone in Musk’s goal to transport people and cargo to the moon and Mars, transforming us into a “multi-planetary” species.

According to an FAA planning notice, the orbital launch’s main anticipated date is April 10, but backup days are April 11 and 12. The FAA stated, “The FAA has not made a licence determination for the SpaceX Starship Super Heavy operation,” the notice said

“The FAA’s Command Center planning notice should not be taken as an indication that a decision to award a licence has been made or will be made in the near future.”

According to a report by Reuters, the rumoured Monday launch date was leaked by a “person familiar with the process” who requested anonymity. They warned that, while the licencing process was approaching conclusion, an environmental safety assessment could cause it to take longer.

The latest word from Musk is that the attempt will take place at the end of the third week of April, but fresh information from the FAA indicates it could happen sooner.

• SpaceX’s ambitions with the Starship rocket?

SpaceX intends to transport people to deep space using a two-stage spaceship made up of the completely reusable Starship, at least its passenger portion, and the Super Heavy rocket booster. Together, Starship and Super Heavy stand 394 feet or 120 metres tall and weigh 11 million pounds or 5 million kgs.

Starship can produce 16 million pounds or 70 Meganewtons of power, which is nearly double than that of NASA’s other new-generation rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS).

Musk originally predicted that the overall development cost of the Starship project would be between $2 billion and $10 billion (£1.6 billion). He subsequently stated that it would be “closer to two or three billion than it is to ten.”

For years, SpaceX has been testing versions of the Starship, formerly known as the ‘BFR,’ by launching and recovering them in the air. These launches have been met with varying degrees of success, with some bursting in a flurry of flames and others returning unharmed.

However, despite Musk’s prediction a year ago that it would happen in 2022, a full-scale orbital test launch of the rocket has yet to take place. The flight from Texas appears to be just days away, though much will rely on the FAA. Shortly after launch, the Super Heavy booster will separate and settle gently in the water about 20 miles off the shore of California.

The starship will continue to fly with its ground track – the route immediately beneath it on Earth – through the Straits of Florida. It will then settle gently in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 60 miles northwest of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands. The entire space mission is anticipated to last only 90 minutes.

After a successful orbital journey, SpaceX will concentrate on sending valuable satellites and other cargo into orbit on Starship.

• Not just this one mission, Starship to become the star rocket.

SpaceX isn’t just planning one Starship; Musk has previously stated that his company has constructed a “factory for making a lot of these vehicles.” Musk’s ultimate goal is to create human life “multi-planetary,” which would necessitate the use of thousands of Starships. Musk believes that a natural or man-made disaster will ultimately put society to an end, necessitating a relocation to another world, with Mars being the “only realistic option.”

The starship will be capable of transporting up to 100 people to Mars on a voyage that is 250 times farther than the moon and will take approximately nine months each way.
However, the Martian surface is not Starship’s only objective.
As part of the Artemis mission, NASA contracted SpaceX to use Starship to transport astronauts to the lunar surface as early as 2025. The Artemis programme will be the successor to the Apollo programme in the 1960s and 1970s.

SpaceX’s Starship rocket will fly 47,000 feet into the air in first ‘high-altitude test’ later this week - but Elon Musk says there’s a two-in-three chance of a crash landing

• SpaceX Starship stands 400ft tall including its nosecone and could hold 100
• Elon Musk says there is a 'fighting chance' it could fly to Mars as early as 202
• To make that date it has to complete a series of increasingly complicated tests
• This includes flying up to nine miles into the air and landing back down safely
• That 'high-altitude test' is expected to take place at some point from tomorrow
  

SpaceX giant 400ft Starship rocket will fly 47,000 feet into the air later this week according to Elon Musk, but there is a one in three chance it will land with a crash.
The massive two-stage-to-orbit heavy lift vehicle has been in development since 2012 and could bring the average cost of launch from $51 million to just $2 million.
In what is the latest, and most ambitious test of the rocket to date, it will fly up to nine miles in the air - higher than the cruising height of most planes - then come back down to land safely at the SpaceX Boca Chica development facility in Texas.

However, Elon Musk tweeted that a 'lot of things need to go right' for it to land back on solid ground giving the landing a one in three chance of happening as planned.
SpaceX hopes to use Starship to take passengers to the Moon and Mars - with Musk suggesting the first un-crewed flight to Mars could be in just two years time.
No specific date or time has been set for the test flight, which follows a series of 'static fire tests', but it is expected to be before the end of this week.

• Musk says the first 'high-altitude test' of the rocket will see it fly nine miles up above the Boca Chica facility in Texas and then come straight back down for a landing

• The massive Starship two-stage-to-orbit heavy lift vehicle has been in development since 2012 and is designed to bring the cost of launch down by being reusable (artist's impression).

SpaceX is one step closer to launching its Starship SN8 prototype nine miles up after a series of successful static fire tests at its Texas facility

To develop a spaceship that can potentially reach the Moon or Mars straight from Earth requires extensive testing including landing back on Earth from a height.

If this latest flight test - that will see the triple Raptor engine fire and lift the 400ft spaceship into the air - is successful, then further, higher tests will likely follow.
In an interview with German publishing house Axel Springer on Tuesday, the SpaceX founder and CEO said he had an ambitious timeline for future missions.

Musk said he hoped to have Starship land on the Red Planet within the next two years and have the first humans step foot on Mars after a trip on board Starship by 2026 - a slight slip from his original goal of 2024.

The latest high-altitude test is penciled in for some point between Wednesday and the end of the week, but test times and dates can change at short notice.
Nine miles up isn't enough to take it into space - but as all previous 'hops' have been measured in feet rather than miles - it is a significant step forward.
The edge of space is agreed by NASA and others to be 50 miles above sea level but to go into orbit you need to get to at least 100 miles above sea level.

Last week Musk tweeted: 'Good Starship SN8 static fire! Aiming for first 15km / ~50k ft altitude flight next week. Goals are to test 3 engine ascent, body flaps, transition from main to header tanks & landing flip.'

The landing is one of the most important aspects - as it needs to be fully reusable to achieve the goals and price per flight set out by the SpaceX team.
There are a number of potential uses for Starship - including deploying hundreds of satellites into orbit at one time and landing astronauts on the Moon and Mars.
Musk said he was 'fairly confident' in a timeline that could see Starship arrive on Mars without a crew in 2022 and with humans as early as 2026.

He said this was due in part to an ambitious parallel development programme for Starship that involves multiple generations of prototypes developed at the same time for rapid testing.

• If this latest flight test - that will see the triple Raptor engine fire and lift the 400ft spaceship into the air - is successful, then further, higher tests will likely follow

However, for SpaceX to get from a nine mile high test flight - assuming it lands successfully - to the nearly 40 million miles to Mars may take some doing.

The latest prototype of Starship, dubbed SN8, needs to complete a static fire test at the SpaceX Boca Chica development facility in Texas before the altitude test flight.
When operational, it is hoped that a single Starship launch will cost about $2 million per trip - a Falcon 9 launch currently costs $51 million if components are re-used.
Starship is made up of two sections - the Super Heavy booster and the rocket ship which could carry as many as 100 people to Mars at a time.

It stands at nearly 400ft and 'a lot can go wrong' in landing such a large craft back on solid ground - however, previous 'short hops' have been a success.



SpaceX's Starship has a 'fighting chance' of launching on its first un-crewed mission to Mars in just four year's time, founder and CEO Elon Musk has claimed. Pictured, a Starship prototype

There are also other prototypes of the Starship craft ready to be tested if this flight fails, according to reports.

SN8 is the first prototype to feature a nosecone and nose fins that help in the high-altitude tests. The previous 'short hops' were carried out using prototype SN6.
That spaceship just had a 'mass simulator' up top that weighed as much as a nose.

Musk says he has SN9 and SN10 ready to go as they were developed in parallel to SN8 and follow a theme of 'building successive generations of prototypes' rapidly so they y can test and iterate quickly.

Elon Musk says he hopes to make a trip into orbit himself at some point in the next two to three years and would one day be buried on Mars.

• STARSHIP: ELON MUSK'S 'BIG F***ING ROCKET'

The BFR (Big F***ing Rocket), now known as Starship, will complete all missions and is smaller than the ones Musk announced in 2016.




The SpaceX CEO said the rocket would take its first trip to the red planet in 2024, carrying only cargo, followed by a manned mission in 2026 and claimed other SpaceX's products would be 'cannibalised' to pay for it.

The rocket would be partially reusable and capable of flight directly from Earth to Mars.
Once built, Musk believes the rocket could be used for travel on Earth — saying that passengers would be able to get anywhere in under an hour.

To date, the Starship series of rockets have seen 9 test flights — some resulting in successful short-distance hops, while others led to explosions or crash landings.
The most recent experimental launch — involving the Starship SN15 prototype — took place on May 5, 2021 and saw the craft complete a 33,000 feet high-altitude flight test into low-lying clouds, complete with successful ascent, engine cut-offs, flip manoeuvre, flap control and soft touchdown.

A small fire did erupt at the base of the rocket following its landing, but this was later extinguished.

• What Exactly Happened On SpaceX's First Starship Launch Attempt?:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vta1rueCMW0

From Starhopper, to SN5, to the 10km flights, today we finally got to see a full Starship launch attempt, and it did not disappoint. For years now SpaceX has been developing, testing, building, and preparing for this first test flight of Starship. While not perfect, it absolutely cleared the pad and gathered a host of invaluable data for the teams at SpaceX.

With this test now complete, we know the company is headed straight to the drawing board as they prepare for the next attempt with significantly upgraded hardware. Here I will go more in-depth into what happened on this first attempt, where the issues arose, what to expect in the near future, and more.

• Elon Musk just declared this after Starship's first launch debut "EXPLOSION"!

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vta1rueCMW0

It finally happened—and it was even more spectacular as we hoped. SpaceX’s Starship officially now becomes the most powerful rocket in history. SpaceX’s Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, took off from a launch pad on the coast of South Texas on Thursday at 9:28 a.m. ET, but exploded midair before stage separation. SpaceX CEO doesn't seem to be disappointed at all. Musk immediately congratulated the team on “an exciting test launch” in a post-launch tweet and said they “learned a lot for [the] next test launch in a few months.” Elon Musk just declared this after Starship's first launch debut "EXPLOSION"... Actually, Musk had sought to keep expectations in check beforehand, saying it had a 50% of reaching orbit at the first try. But more launches are planned, and he believes there's an 80% chance of success before the end of the year. Elon Musk just declared this after Starship's first launch debut "EXPLOSION"... This launch marked the vehicle’s historic first test flight. SpaceX’s Starship megarocket blasted off from the Boca Chica, Texas, launch pad just after 9:30 a.m. ET this morning, lifted upwards by a record-breaking amount of thrust. Starship is not yet ready for prime time, but by finally taking flight on Thursday, the megarocket is now in the record books as being the biggest, tallest, and most powerful rocket to take flight. This was a test flight, and SpaceX wanted to see just how far they could take it, so having the rocket last for nearly four minutes represents an incredible accomplishment. The rocket cleared the launch tower and managed to survive MaxQ, the moment when a rocket experiences the greatest aerodynamic pressure, and continued upwards toward space. Things turned sour shortly before the four-minute mark, however, when the rocket began to exhibit erratic flight behavior. The rocket blew up, presumably the result of a self-destruct command issued by SpaceX ground control. Elon Musk just declared this after Starship's first launch debut "EXPLOSION"...

• Elon Musk's NEW UPDATE on SpaceX Stage 0 after blowing up by 33 Engines:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=7NePqKvLpiY

Big rockets emit tremendous amounts of energy — and none more than SpaceX’s Starship, the most powerful rocket in the world, which generates thrust twice as powerful as the Saturn V rocket that flew the Apollo astronauts toward the moon. On Thursday, during its lift-off, the Starship, which stands at nearly 400 feet tall, spread debris like mortar fire for hundreds of yards, leaving behind a crater beneath its launch mount and causing dents in nearby storage tanks. As a result, there are concerns regarding the extent of repairs needed and when SpaceX will be able to attempt a launch again. Immediately, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk just gave huge updates on SpaceX Stage 0 after being blown up by 33 engines. So what is SpaceX’s solution? Let's find out in today's episode of SpaceX Fans: April 20, 2023, will go down in history as the first time SpaceX launched a fully-integrated Starship –the world’s largest and most powerful rocket to ever soar into the sky. Starship lifted off at 8:33 a.m. Central Time from Starbase at Boca Chica Beach, Texas, with the power of 33 methane-fueled Raptor V2 engines that roared with intense force. Combined, the engines are capable of generating over 16.5 million pounds of thrust lifted off and cleared the tower, leaving behind a massive plume and flame. Everyone was relieved that Starship had moved, but the damage wrought by Starship's 33 first-stage Raptor engines was considerable. It "left a large crater in the concrete under the launch mount". Well, the concrete surrounding the OLM also disappeared. Elon Musk's NEW UPDATE on SpaceX Stage 0 after blowing up by 33 Engines...

In a much-anticipated event, SpaceX's Starship rocket was launched today from the Boca Chica launch site in Texas. The massive rocket, touted as the biggest on earth, was expected to perform its signature "belly flip" maneuver before landing safely back on earth. However, things did not go as planned, and the rocket exploded shortly after the belly flip.

The incident was captured on camera by multiple sources, including a passenger on a Boeing plane flying overhead, which provided a bird's eye view of the explosion. The video footage quickly went viral on social media platforms, with millions of views within hours of being uploaded.

The Starship rocket, developed by SpaceX, is a next-generation spacecraft designed to transport astronauts and cargo to the moon, Mars, and beyond. The rocket stands at a towering height of 394 feet (120 meters) and weighs in at a massive 16,000 tons when fully fueled. The spacecraft is powered by six Raptor engines, which use a mixture of methane and oxygen as fuel.

The launch was part of a series of test flights designed to validate the Starship's ability to perform a range of maneuvers, including the belly flip, which involves flipping the spacecraft mid-air to slow its descent before landing. The maneuver is a crucial part of the Starship's landing system and is expected to allow for more precise and controlled landings on other planets.

The test flight was conducted in a controlled environment, with no crew on board, and was expected to reach an altitude of around 6 miles (10 kilometers) before returning to earth. However, shortly after the belly flip, the rocket appeared to lose control and crashed to the ground, resulting in a massive explosion.

In a tweet, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk confirmed the explosion and noted that the cause of the failure was under investigation. "At least the crater is in the right place!" he joked.

The incident is not the first setback for SpaceX, which has experienced several failures and setbacks during its efforts to develop and test new spacecraft. However, the company has also achieved many notable successes, including the first privately funded spacecraft to reach orbit and the first privately funded spacecraft to dock with the International Space Station.

Despite the setback, many in the space industry remain optimistic about the Starship's potential. The spacecraft is seen as a critical component of SpaceX's long-term goal of establishing a self-sustaining human presence on Mars.

The failure is also a reminder of the risks and challenges involved in space exploration, which remains one of the most challenging and dangerous endeavors undertaken by humans. However, as Musk noted in a recent interview, "If one company or one country achieves a breakthrough in space exploration, we all benefit."

The incident is also likely to generate renewed interest in SpaceX and its efforts to push the boundaries of space exploration. The company has already announced plans for several upcoming missions, including a crewed mission to the International Space Station and a mission to the moon in partnership with NASA.

In conclusion, the explosion of the Starship rocket is a setback for SpaceX, but the company's ambitions and achievements remain impressive. The incident is a reminder of the risks and challenges involved in space exploration but also highlights the potential rewards and benefits of pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and experience. As the world watches and waits to see what comes next, one thing is certain: SpaceX and its Starship rocket will continue to capture the imagination and inspire awe and wonder for years to come.

SpaceX's INSANE manufacturing plans with Starship will blow your mind... SpaceX's biggest goal right now is definitely getting Starship in operation, so we think the SpaceX team is now FOCUSING everything for the ONLY first orbital flight? Actually No! "We weren't really focusing on the orbital ship -- we were focusing on the production systems that will build the ship. We know how to get to orbit". This is what SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell ever confirmed. “Why can’t we build a rocket every day? That’s what we’re focusing on with Starship, is attacking every part of the production process to be able to build lots of these machines.” And they're exactly heading this: "This year they're targeting the five boosters eight stars and eight Starships in production for 2023". Find out everything about SpaceX's INSANE manufacturing plans with Starship in today’s episode of Alpha Tech: But before we start, if you're new, don't forget to hit the subscribe button and click the bell icon to stay updated on our latest content. Now let’s get started: SpaceX’s Boca Chica, Texas hardware endeavors began in an empty field in late 2018, kicking off Starhopper testing in 2019. In late 2019 and early 2020, the company began building the bones of the factory that exists today, relying heavily on several giant tents “sprung structures” similar to those used by Tesla. SpaceX has already begun the process of replacing those tents with larger, permanent buildings, but two of the original tents continue to host crucial parts of the Starship manufacturing process. In 2022, SpaceX finished Booster 7 and built Booster 8, Booster 9, and most of the Booster 10. Booster 8 was almost immediately relegated to the retirement yard. Booster 9, featuring some significant design changes, completed a limited amount of proof testing and returned to the factory in early January – likely for Raptor engine installation. SpaceX began stacking B10 in late October 2022 and the vehicle is now fully stacked. SpaceX's INSANE plans with Starship after first launch exploded will blow your mind...

Why March?

At an average distance of 140 million miles, Mars is one of Earth's closest habitable neighbors. Mars is about half as far from the Sun as Earth, so it still gets decent sunshine. It's a bit cold, but we can heat it up. Its atmosphere is mostly CO2 with some nitrogen and argon and a few other trace elements, which means we can grow plants on Mars simply by compressing the atmosphere. The gravity on Mars is about 38% that of Earth, so you would be able to lift heavy objects and move around. Moreover, the day is remarkably close to that of the Earth.

Mars is the animal survival instinct that humans reclaim during social crises. Mars the red planet, the star of war, the fight to conquer Mars, is it a way to tame the Lion in a cage?
Yes, man has affinities with the planet Mars and why he is going to win it.

FIRST STARSHIP LAUNCH.
3 PEOPLE SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES.

(April 22, 2023) S. Padre Island, Texas

I wanted to write about my first rocket launch. I realized that to best write for you, I had to talk to other people about their experiences. I’m sharing with you some of the beautiful conversations I had at Starship’s first orbital flight test launch. We’ll hear from a SpaceX enthusiast, an ex-NASA engineer, and a SpaceX engineer.

A DREAM COMES TRUE.

When Tesla announced the availability of the first version Model 3 sedan, Jim from Indiana was one of the first to reserve one. Since that date in 2017, Jim has closely been following Elon Musk’s companies and has been supportive of SpaceX. When he heard Starship would launch its first orbital test this year, he had a dream of going there with his daughter.

I saw Jim standing on Isla Blanca State Park beach with his wife, two children and another family friend. Jim’s passion and dedication to supporting SpaceX and its mission to make us multi-planetary is contagious. He wakes up every morning excited about the future!

“I knew I would bring my daughter, and when my wife found out she helped turn it into a family vacation for us all.”

I talked with him on the beach while his children played in the rolling waves at Isla Blanca State Park. Jim is one of many people who came to see the first Starship launch in person on April 20, 2023.

EX-NASA ENGINEER BELIEVES ELON MUSK WILL GET PEOPLE LIVING ON THE MOON.

Fred Becker, an ex-NASA Engineer would not have missed this launch for anything. Fred drove down from Indiana with his tiny Pomeranian in a little carrying pack. When Fred was 16 years old, he watched Apollo 16 land on the Moon on April 16. In a gentle voice, and with a slight sense of humor, Fred told me he wished the Starship launch had been on April 16.

We talked quite a bit, and I felt like I was talking to an old friend, Fred told me,

“NASA has been hamstrung by politics, but Elon Musk is not, for the most part. Fred shared with me that he knows Elon Musk is an incredibly amazing and kind person, and if his mission is to get people living on the moon that’s going to happen.”

As I watched Fred walk away, I thought about how he explained to me that he had played a big role in designing and developing the space shuttle for NASA. Fred came alive when he explained to me his admiration for what Elon Musk is doing. I saw a spark light up in his eye.

There were a lot of NASA folks present at the Starship launch. SpaceX is opening up hope again to them that we will have people living on the moon and beyond!

WORKING FOR SPACEX.

I lingered at Isla Blanca for a while after the launch, the beach started to clear and began to fill up with happy families, kids, toys, and coconut-scented suntan lotion. As I started to walk back to the parking lot, I ran into Justin T., a SpaceX engineer. I asked him what his role was in Starship, and he was gracious enough to explain it to me in terms I could understand. He said he was responsible for connecting the fuel tanks to the Starship, it’s a lot more complicated than that, but I will tell you that he expressed he loved his job and the team he works with.

Justin told me he’s ready to get right back to work for the next launch. He told me he loves working at SpaceX and does not entertain any plans of leaving. He has found his passion and mission. It was incredible to hear him talk and to be able to thank him for his hard work.
Without him, the launch would not have been the data-gathering success that it was.

MY THOUGHTS.

I’ve been to Starbase 6 times with most of my family. We’ve camped on the beach 3 times, which is pretty near to the Starship launch site!

When Starship launched, the vibrations in the air and the deep rumbling sound were much more profound than I could have imagined. I could feel the intense pressure in the core of my heart. This was my first launch to ever attend in person! One of my kids was there and when I turned around he had tears of joy streaming down his face. “It made me realize my life priorities!”

If Starship goes to Mars, we have a great chance of passing the great filter and becoming a multi-planetary civilization. If Starship doesn’t make it to Mars, if the program fails, it will still do one thing that is extremely valuable in the lives of people today: Give people hope where there wasn’t any before. Do you love waking up in the morning excited for the future? I know I do. This alone is justification enough for Starship.

“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.” - President John F. Kennedy, Houston, Texas, September 12, 1962

Elon Musk was asked, “Why should we colonize Mars?”

"Being a multi-planet species and being out there among the stars is important for the long-term survival of humanity and that's one reason, kind of like life insurance for life collectively, life as we know it.
The part that I find personally most motivating is that it creates a sense of adventure and it makes people excited about the future.
If you consider two futures: one where we are forever confined to Earth until eventually something terrible happens — or another future where we are out there on many planets, maybe even going beyond the solar system!
I think that the second version is incredibly exciting and inspiring… and there need to be reasons to get up in the morning. You know, life cannot just be about solving problems, otherwise, what’s the point?
There’s gotta be things that people find inspiring and make life worth living.”
- Elon Musk
