SpaceX just Announced the next Starship launch date!
Elon Musk has just revealed that SpaceX is planning to launch its gigantic Starship rocket into orbit for the second time in a few weeks.
The first attempt ended in a spectacular explosion that sent debris raining down on Texas. But Musk is not deterred by this minor setback.
He confidently tweeted “6 to 8 weeks” as the new timeframe for the next launch.
Is he serious? Can he pull it off? Or is he just trolling us all?
Find out in today’s episode of Alpha Tech!
SpaceX tried to send this big boy to orbit on April 20, but it went boom in the sky. No one was on board, luckily. The Starship rocket was supposed to be the next big thing for space travel, but it turned out to be a big firework instead. SpaceX said it was because of a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” before stage separation. That’s a fancy way of saying it blew up.
Musk considered Starship’s first orbital test a success and said in April the SpaceX team “learned a lot for [the] next test launch in a few months.”
“Major launchpad upgrades should be complete in about a month, then another month of rocket testing on pad, then flight 2 of Starship,” he said on May 26.
However, Musk is feeling adventurous. He just gave us a new timeline for Starship’s orbital flight, saying it could happen in six weeks, or maybe eight weeks, depending on his mood. That means we could see his giant rocket zooming around the Earth by late July or mid-August. How exciting!
