It was a huge success for SpaceX and the future of space travel - almost. An uncrewed prototype Starship landed successfully on the pad Wednesday after a test flight that launched from the company's facility in Boca Chica, Texas. But it exploded minutes later.
The SpaceX Starship rocket prototype, SN10, ignited its engines for a split second on Wednesday afternoon, but an issue with the launch procedure triggered an automatic abort. Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO, said the rocket had a "slightly conservative high thrust limit" but the team would recycle propellant and try again.
Elon Musk is developing a vehicle that could be a game-changer for space travel. Starship, as it's known, will be a fully reusable transport system capable of carrying up to 100 people to the Red Planet. The founding ethos of Elon Musk's private spaceflight company SpaceX was to make life multi-planetary.
SpaceX is planning to break ground on a "state-of-the-art manufacturing facility" in Austin, Texas, to support a satellite operation that got its start in Redmond, Wash. The company's billionaire CEO, Elon Musk, set up the Starlink satellite operation in Redmond five years ago.
In the private space industry, it can seem that there's SpaceX and then there's everyone else. Only Blue Origin, backed by its own billionaire founder in the person of Jeff Bezos, seems able to command the same degree of attention. And Blue Origin hasn't even gone beyond suborbital space yet.
THE NEXT SPACE WALK IS SET FOR FRIDAY SHELDON: VERY EXCITING. AND SPACE-X WILL TRY AGAIN TONIGHT TO LAUNCH A FALCON 9 ROCKET FROM THE CAPE. THE COMPANY WAS SET TO SEND UP ANOTHER ROUND OF STARLINK SATELLITES LAST NIGHT, BUT THE LAUNCH WAS ABORTED ABOUT 90 SECONDS BEFORE LIFTOFF.
SpaceX's first engineers lived on a remote Pacific island to prepare the company's earliest rocket for launch. In the first year that SpaceX was on the island, food shipments sometimes failed. So one day, hungry engineers refused to work until a helicopter brought chicken and cigarettes.

Since announcing his intentions to travel to the moon in 2023, the Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has fluctuated in his choice of desired companions. First, he wanted visionary artists, future Picassos and John Lennons. Then he searched for a "bright and positive" girlfriend to accompany him on the spaceflight.
SpaceX's Starship SN10 finally appears ready to fly after a tumultuous few weeks in Texas following the SN9 flight. SN9 and SN10 stood side-by-side in a first of its kind occurrence at the Boca Chica test facility continuing the breakneck pace of the flight campaigns until mother nature made other plans.
The prototype tests are coming extremely quickly for SpaceX's Starship program. Only weeks after its predecessor SN9 flew high and then crash-landed on Texas' Gulf Coast, SN10 will attempt to improve on that performance, and it could happen as soon as Wednesday.

NASA's taking steps to make sure a landing problem after a recent SpaceX rocket launch does not endanger astronauts who'll also be flying on a SpaceX rocket. Training is almost finished for four astronauts who are next to fly on a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, launched by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
WASHINGTON - A Falcon 9 first stage failed to land after a launch last month because one of its engines shut down during flight after hot gas breached a worn-out cover. During a NASA press conference March 1 about the upcoming Crew-2 commercial crew flight, Benji Reed, senior director for human spaceflight programs at SpaceX, said that while the booster used on that Feb.
