Elon Musk's SpaceX plans to launch a test flight of the Starship and Donald Trump will be there to watch.
Elon Musk's company SpaceX is planning to launch its sixth test flight of the Starship between 17:00-17:30 EST
Musk and SpaceX have grand designs that the rocket system will one day take humans to the Moon, and then on to MarsmanoeuvreIn audio from that social media post, one of the engineers speaking to Musk said “we were one second away from that tripping and telling the rocket to abort and try to crash into the ground next to the tower,” to which Musk can be heard saying “wow”.
The issue seems to have been over the software that monitors the progress of the super heavy booster while in flight. It seemed to have detected non-ideal parameters. "I wanted to be really up-front about scary shit that happened and what we're doing about it, because I think that's our focus on getting to Flight 6”.Starship’s first test flight was just 19 months ago, when it was deliberately exploded four minutes after launch because of multiple engine failures.
