The Starship rocket, consisting of an accelerator (lower degree) Super Heavy and upper degree, which is Ship spacecraft, launched on Tuesday, October 14, at 02:23 in Kiev from SpaceX in Texas. Approximately 7 minutes after starting, the Super Heavy accelerator made a soft landing in the Gulf of Mexico. Ship Space Space was softly landing in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Australia in 66 minutes.

It was the last launch of the current version of Starship, which would soon be replaced with an even greater version. But most importantly, SpaceX was able to repeat the success achieved during the 10th test flight at the end of August and thus interrupt a series of unsuccessful Starship tests. The Ship spacecraft at a height of 192 km launched eight starlink satellites, and also spent a suborbital flight restart its engines.

Then Ship returned to the ground, withstanding severe heating at entry into the atmosphere. During future tests, Ilon Maska plans to launch Starship, which can be used to deliver people and cargoes per month and Mars. The current version of Starship, known as Version 2, has a height of 123 meters in the collected state, that is, taking into account two degrees. But the future version of the rocket, Version 3 will have a height of 124. 4 meters, and Version 4 - 142 meters.

SpaceX plans to return the Super Heavy and Ship to the starting ground after each flight, which will allow you to quickly start. This will allow you to run Starship several times a day from one starting ground. SpaceX develops Starship to help humanity master Mars - the ancient dream of the founder of the company Ilon Mask. NASA also chose Starship as the first manned landing module for Artemis-3 mission. It will be the first landing of astronauts a month since 1972.

If everything goes according to the plan, Starship will land astronauts for the first time on the month in 2027. The focus has already wrote about how the 10th Starship rocket test was in late August. Focus also wrote that experts fear that the first landing of people a month in the 21st century may not take place in 2027 because of SpaceX problems. Focus also wrote that the planet may be like earth in the solar system.
