Four minutes after leaving ground, the uncrewed SpaceX rocket exploded. The explosion may have been due to the flight termination system being activated. There was a previous cautioned that the chances of success were low. The employees at SpaceX cheered even after the rocket disintegrated.
"Unlike Nasa, which attempts to avoid risk, SpaceX has a record of showing a willingness to have test flights explode, with Musk saying the private venture benefits from understanding what goes wrong. SpaceX built its own spaceport, named Starbase, on the Gulf of Mexico in Boca Chica, Texas, to launch its rockets. Several other Starships are already in production for future tests."
Musk wants humans to become an "interplanetary species". |
