The Starship rocket has lifted off, and least we can say is the it’s progress has been extraordinary

For its third test flight, the SpaceX rocket put on a magnificent show opening the doors to a bright future !
The two rocket stages separated perfectly and while Super Heavy began its descent, Starship continued its journey into space.

Starlink’s satellites have provided us with extraordinary images of the Starship.

During the test: – The 33 Raptor engines were operated.
                            – Starship and Super Heavy split up and Starship’s 6 Raptor engines ignited.
                             – After separation, Super Heavy disintegrated after a 7 minutes mission at an altitude of 462 meters.
                             – Starship disintegrated after 49 minutes of flight on re-entry into the atmosphere.

This test was another opportunity for SpaceX to learn how to make further progress.

Elon announced on April 5 that the fourth Starship test would take place in May.

LET’S GO TO MARS
