Starship X.0: Sixth Test Flight and a New Chapter for SpaceX
On November 19, SpaceX successfully conducted the sixth test flight of the Starship rocket from its Starbase facility in Texas. This mission marked a milestone not just for the company but for the entire space industry.
🚀 What’s New?
The Super Heavy Booster 13 separated from the spacecraft 2 minutes and 45 seconds after launch, but instead of being caught by the launch tower’s "chopsticks," it was gently splash-landed in the Gulf of Mexico.
For the first time, Starship carried a payload: a plush banana that served as a zero-gravity indicator. Serious mission with a touch of humor!
38 minutes into the flight, SpaceX successfully restarted a Raptor engine, proving readiness for orbital missions.
🌍 Progress and Tests Key experiments included testing new heat shield materials and flap control maneuvers. A soft landing in the Indian Ocean 65 minutes after launch further demonstrated Starship's potential for lunar and Martian missions.
🎥 The launch was attended by Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump, highlighting the significance of the event.
What’s next? The Moon and Mars are closer than ever. Do you think Starship will dominate the orbital game? 💬
