It is big news for the world of space, as the Starship rocket by SpaceX successfully finished its very first full test flight. This comes as the fourth attempt by SpaceX to launch the Starship. The duration of the sub-orbital space flight was about an hour, after which the spacecraft and the booster both made a soft landing. The landing took place in the Gulf of Mexico. The Super Heavy booster of the Starship got detached from the spacecraft in order to foster a gentle landing. The spacecraft then traveled around the globe and made yet another gentle landing in the Indian Ocean. SpaceX has always held a dream of creating a speedily and completely reusable rocket system. The recent flight by SpaceX can pave the way for this dream to be successful. Starship is here to change the game of space exploration, once and for all, in many ways.

Understanding Starship better Vehicles like the Starship are constructed to carry cargo or crew to the orbit of the Moon, Earth, Mars, and even beyond that. It stands as a two-stage heavy lift-off vehicle and is about 120 meters tall. There are many things that make the rocket special, but one of these is the fact that it is the largest rocket ever to be flown. The Super Heavy booster holds 33 Raptor engines. These engines can generate 74 meganewtons of thrust. The Raptors make use of liquid oxygen in the ratio of 3:6:1 and liquid methane. The project aims to make Super Heavy completely reusable.
