The first launch of the Starship had to be delayed due to a frozen boost valve. SpaceX tried to fix this in time, so the countdown to launch was reduced to a minute T-40 seconds.
But in the end it turned out to be impossible. Now it remains to wait for the new release date, which, as the company explained, will be at least within 48 hours. Elon Musk himself has already warned that this could happen and that the chances of a successful Starship launch are only 50%.
What is special about Starship?
Starship is the world’s largest reusable rocket. Its height is 120 meters and it was built in order to be able to travel to distant planets without having to carry a lot of fuel. You can complete a mission on a planet and then get fuel from another ship. I would refuel in full space. In addition, the propulsion system will not sit idle waiting to deorbit, but will land in a controlled manner on Earth and can be used again.
