SpaceX loses contact with Starship 8, the spaceship is inflated, viral videos show explosion and breathtaking fire ball shower

Almost two months after an explosion, SpaceX launched another mammoth starship rocket on Thursday when the spaceship rained on the Turks and Caicos, which lost another mammoth starship rocket as the spaceship.

The 123-meter rocket of 403 feet, which was picked up from Texas before the sunset. SpaceX caught the booster of the first stage with huge mechanical arms in the pad, but engines on the spaceship at the top switched when he roamed east, which was supposed to be a controlled entry over the Indian ocean, half a world away.

The contact was lost with the spaceship when he went out of control.

The escape flight should take an hour and the bogus satellites should not bring to space as planned. The spaceship reached almost 90 miles (150 kilometers) in height before trouble. It was not immediately clear where it came down.

“Unfortunately, this also happened the last time, so we now have some exercises,” said SpaceX flight commentator Dan Huot from the start page.

NASA booked the spaceship to land its astronauts on the moon later this decade. Elon Musk from SpaceX strives for a Mars with Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket in the world.

As last time, the Starship had to publish four billy satellites as soon as the craft at this eighth test flight as a practice for future missions. They resembled SpaceX 'Starlink internet satellites from SpaceX, of which thousands currently circle the earth and should fall back after their short space of space.

The flaps, computers and the fuel system of starships were redesigned to prepare for the next big step: the return of the spacecraft to the starting point such as the booster.

During the last demo SpaceX conquered the booster at the start pad, but the spaceship blew over the Atlantic a few minutes later. No injuries or serious damage were reported.

After another examination, an UNDAK fuel triggered a number of fires that parked the engines of the spacecraft. The self-cestruct system on board was installed as planned.

SpaceX said it made several improvements in the spacecraft after the accident, and the Federal Aviation Administration recently clarified the starship for the start.

Spaceships rise from the southernmost tip of Texas near the Mexican border. SpaceX builds another Starship complex in Cape Canaveral in Cape Canaveral, Florida, in which the smaller Falcon rockets of the company, the astronauts and satellites, are located.
