In a significant blow to American businessman Elon Musk, SpaceX announced today, Thursday, that they lost the "Starship" rocket during its attempt to return to the atmosphere. This marks the third failed launch attempt. The "Starship," the world's most powerful rocket, launched today on its third test flight, a mission of vital importance for NASA's plans to send astronauts to the Moon later this decade and for Elon Musk's hopes of establishing human colonies on Mars.
The launch took place from a company base in Southeast Texas at around 8:25 AM local time (1:25 PM UTC) and was streamed live online, attracting approximately two million viewers. The "Starship" is the largest and most powerful rocket in the world, capable of carrying a payload of up to 100 tons, making it the ideal choice for space experiments and supply missions.
