The test flight of Starship, the spacecraft constructed by the US space transportation company SpaceX to transport freight and passengers to the Moon and Mars, was postponed on April 17th. Starship was launched without a crew from SpaceX Starbase in Texas, USA, at 08:34 local time using the world’s most powerful rocket, Super Heavy. Although the Starship successfully took off, it exploded in the air four minutes later.

In addition, the first orbital flight test of the Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket was planned to last approximately 90 minutes and land in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii.

Elon Musk, the owner of SpaceX, complimented the SpaceX team and said he had learned a lot for the next test flight, which will take place in a few months.
