Elon Musk's SpaceX launched Mega Starship Rocket, what is Musk's planning

The world's richest man and SpaceX owner Elon Musk has written a new chapter. On Sunday, October 13, the Mega Starship rocket of Musk's SpaceX launched successfully. The Starship rocket flew at sunrise from the southern tip of Texas near the Mexican border. The height of the Starship is approximately 400 feet i.e. 121 meters tall-it is the tallest and most powerful rocket ever.

The most adventurous test conducted by SpaceX was indeed the most successful. Earlier, the test conducted by SpaceX in June 2024 was the most successful. Which completed its flight without explosion. This is the fifth test of the Starship rocket.

Elon Musk does have major plans with regard to Starship, now considered the largest and most powerful rocket ever built out with 33 methane-fueled engines on one booster.

It has ordered two Starships to deliver astronauts to the lunar surface later in the decade. SpaceX hopes to use Starship to transport crew and cargo to the Moon and Mars.

Many tests of Starship have been done before. After reentry on 14 March 2024, contact with Starship was lost in the test conducted on that day. At that time, SpaceX said that this has happened because of some technical flaws. According to SpaceX, at that time Starship could not survive during reentry. Coming to the second test: the test was not successful due to problems in stage separation.

Elon Musk doesn't call the most powerful-ever rocket the most modern for nothing. There was some reason behind his statement. The first one is re-usability, meaning in case Starship fails to fly once, it can fly a second time, too. Well, this is the tallest rocket in history so far. Starship can carry about 150 tons of payload. Not only this, but it has 33 Raptor engines installed, making it really powerful. The speed of this rocket is approximately 27,000 kilometers per hour.
