Spacex starship explosion: Space X company of the world’s renowned tech industrialist Alan Musk has suffered a major setback. On Thursday, there was a fierce explosion in SpaceX’s starship rocket on the Starbase Test site in Texas. This super rocket called Starship 36 exploded during a static fire test, in which a tremendous fire and black smoke got out. This incident happened around 11 pm. At that time, the engine of the rocket fired for the test at the ground level.
Test was to be held on June 29
This was the last Test for Flight 10 of Starship 36, which was to be held on June 29. In the static fire test, the rocket engines are burnt with full force in ground condition, so that the system can be examined before the launch. However, this time the test failed and the explosion caused badly damage to the rocket. SpaceX has not yet made an official statement, but it is believed that any technical fault in the engine may be a reason behind it.
Alan Musk’s dream is to take humans to Mars and Starship is an important part of this mission. It is considered the world’s most powerful and reusable rocket. But this year there have been many failures with Starships, in which two Test flights have already fallen victim to the explosion. SpaceX says that by learning from every failure, they will make the rocket better. Now the next flight date is uncertain, as the next step will be decided only after investigation.
