THE WORLD’s largest rocket has flown once more, and its uncrewed check flight on March 14th, like the 2 earlier ones, resulted in “speedy unscheduled disassembly” (ie, catastrophic explosions). However the higher stage of Starship, constructed by SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket firm, efficiently accomplished its ascent into area. It travelled midway across the Earth, finishing up numerous deliberate exams earlier than being destroyed whereas re-entering the ambiance. In a defiant post on X, the social community previously often known as Twitter, Mr Musk insisted that “Starship will make life multiplanetary.” Maybe. This newest flight was at the least one other small step in that course.
