“Failure is an option here. If you are not failing, you are not innovating.” These were the words by Elon Musk when had started his space company SpaceX. The most recent example of it was the recent Starship SN8 launch by SpaceX, which according to the medial articles and blogs was a failure.

But the it was a great success and almost did everything right. Elon, SpaceX and many other scientists know that the days of going to mars are not very distant. After a long wait, SpaceX took a big leap when it conducted the first high-altitude test flight with its prototype Starship vehicle! On December 9th SN8, the latest incarnation of SpaceX’s Starship, a craft intended as the second stage of a rocket that will be able to carry 100 tonnes of payload, people included, into orbit, and hence to the Moon and Mars, took off perfectly from its pad in Boca Chica, Texas. The starship SN8 flew to the skies with three raptor engines, becoming the first full-scale starship prototype to lift off with three raptor engines. After reaching the maximum altitude of 12.5 kilometres, it flipped on its belly and had a control descent using its flaps and performed some fancy manoeuvres before returning to the launch pad. Unfortunately, the landing was a bit hot and SN8 exploded as it touched the ground. But still it was huge success. Today in this video we will discuss Why did the Starship SN8 exploded and its significance on future SpaceX missions. So, make sure to watch the video to the end.
But before talking further, lets know why is Starship so Important? Imagine a rocket that could launch and land 1,000 times a year. Sounds unbelievable? Well, that’s what SpaceX is working on- The Starship. Its lifting capacity of 100,000 kilograms is more than any rocket currently in operation, and the whole system is designed to be reusable for frequent trips to space. It will launch atop a large booster called Super Heavy. Super Heavy will be the backbone of getting Starship and its crew on a journey to another world. The ultimate goal of starship is to launch up to 100 people at a time per flight. Starship will make it possible for us to go to mars. The cost of launching payloads, going to orbit and mars is very expensive in today’s space industry. Because every time we launch, we lose a rocket. With Falcon-9 we used to save the booster and reuse it thus saving a lot of money. But with starship SpaceX plans to take this one step ahead. With starship they plan to recover the stage 2 also after a launch, which will make the launch cost way less. Now let's take a look at the launch of Starship SN8 and know whether it was a success or not?
On December 9th, 2020 SpaceX launched its eight prototype of starship, SN8. Despite failing to make it in one home, it was a huge success. The Sn8 validated the Starship’s design for high-altitude flight, a major stepping stone towards spaceflight. But the important thing is the data gathered from this test which will be very helpful for improving the next prototypes of starship to come. So, this test was a very important milestone for the future of regular flights to the moon and mars. The launch window opened in the morning of 9th December at 07.00 a.m. CST and was set to close at 05:00 p.m. The launch was postponed for about an hour after an airplane had entered the restricted airspace. The launch began just an hour before the launch window was scheduled to close. The three raptor engines ignited and the Starship slowly lifted off the launching pad. SpaceX shared the entire event via a live stream and everything was recorded by an exterior camera, a downward facing camera mounted to the exterior of starship and a third camera which was mounted inside the engine compartment. SN8 continued to soar and had a very stable ascent.
