SpaceX lands Super Heavy rocket booster for first time

The reusable rocket system consists of two parts. The Starship spacecraft was launched into orbit by the Super Heavy launch vehicle. The gas pedal leaned back at the start, where the levers caught it. The Starship manned spacecraft sank into the Indian Ocean after an hour-long orbit around the Earth.

The rocket has been launched four times before, but only two flights were successful. Since its launch in June, SpaceX has been working on the ship’s thermal protection. Designers changed the Starship’s skin, preserving the wings.

Recall that the founder and CEO of SpaceX is Elon Musk. But the entrepreneur is also developing other technologies besides space technology: most recently he announced Tesla’s humanoid robots and an unmanned taxi without a steering wheel.
