SpaceX Launch: The biggest launch of tech billionaire Elon Musk’s own company SpaceX has been successful. The fifth starship launched by SpaceX has crashed into space.
According to the local time, this rocket was launched on the south coast of Texas on the morning of October 13 (Sunday). The experiment continued in two phases. After entering Ningi, the booster and spacecraft successfully reach Earth. First, the booster entered the Earth’s atmosphere and returned to the launch pad.
The spacecraft, which traveled at a speed of 17,000 miles per hour in space, successfully landed in the Indian Ocean near Western Australia in 90 minutes. The massive booster with a total length of 71 meters (233 feet) was rapidly launched into the Ningi. After that it quickly returned to the launch pad.

The chopsticks immediately retracted at the launch pad as the booster returned. A super heavy booster called Booster 12 achieved this feat. The booster landed on the pad. The above two hands are closed at the top of the booster. The booster reached its destination seven minutes later at the bottom of the grid.

Elon Musk responded to the success of this experiment. He posted video after video saying that the engineering was amazing. He claimed that the spacecraft landed precisely at the designated spot. Musk revealed that SpaceX achieved two targets with this launch.
The SpaceX control room staff celebrated the success of the launch. The Starship rocket is 121 meters (400 ft) long. The booster and spacecraft, launched in two stages, have been specially designed by ‘SpaceX’ for trips to Mars and Chandama as the world’s largest rocket.
