SpaceX experienced a setback on Thursday when they lost contact with their Starship rocket during its eighth un-crewed flight test. The rocket, which was in the midst of the test, underwent a rapid unscheduled disassembly, resulting in a partial failure of the spacecraft. The exact cause of the incident is still under investigation by SpaceX, with no official explanation given at this time.
The Starship rocket is a key component of SpaceX’s efforts to develop a spacecraft capable of carrying both crew and cargo to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The loss of communication with the rocket is a setback for the company, as they work towards achieving their goal of making spaceflight more accessible and affordable.
While this incident is a setback for SpaceX, it is not uncommon for space companies to experience failures and setbacks during the testing phases of new technology. SpaceX has faced setbacks in the past, including failed rocket landings and explosions during testing, but has continued to innovate and push the boundaries of space exploration.
SpaceX is expected to release more information about the incident as they continue to investigate the cause of the rapid unscheduled disassembly. Despite this setback, SpaceX remains dedicated to advancing space exploration and working towards their ultimate goal of making life multi-planetary.
