En ting er sikkert, Space X mister voldsomt med anseelse og troverdighet etter dette ekstremt kostbare forsøket. Det gikk riktignok bedre enn første gang, og da alle 33 motorer startet denne gang, så det lovende ut. Jeg satt foran skjermen og så også at nedtellingen ble stanset på T minus 40 sek. Etter noen minutter ble den påbegynt igjen og boosteren med Starship løftet seg. Resten kan du lese om under. Også denne gang kaller Spaxe X dette for vellykket. (Red.)
What
just happened
From
CNN's Jackie Wattles
The Starship system made it much further into flight
than the first attempt in April, but ultimately ended in another explosion.
The rocket and spacecraft safely lifted off the pad,
with the Super Heavy booster igniting all 33 of its engines. During the last
attempt, multiple engines shut down prematurely.
Then, the Super Heavy booster and Starship spacecraft
successfully separated, as the Starship lit up its engines and pushed away.
That process ended up destroying the Super Heavy booster, which erupted into a
ball of flames over the Gulf of Mexico. But the Starship spacecraft was able to
briefly continue its journey.
A few minutes later, however, SpaceX was not able to regain
a signal from the vehicle. And the company confirmed on its livestream that it
was forced to trigger Starship's self-destruct feature.
