Elon Musk's Starship lands successfully for first time

SpaceX launched and successfully landed its futuristic Starship SN15. Previous four test flights for the rocketship had ended in explosions for the vehicle SpaceX founder Elon Musks hopes will eventually transport humans to Mars. This latest upgraded version of SpaceX’s full-scale, stainless steel, bullet-shaped rocketship reach a maximum altitude of over six miles (10km) before flipping and descending horizontally, and then going vertical again just in time for touchdown

The same trend was observed with those re-usable rockets. If there's one thing to take home from this, it's to never give up on your goals
Go SpaceX!!!

I’m very happy for Elon hope he feels proud of himself

[TamimLB]

Amazing! My South African brother is pushing the entire world forward! Go Elon!

A failure is only a failure if you fail to learn from it.

[samwright]

NASA made everything look difficult, space x made everying look easy

[ossianx]

If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again :-) All 'failures' were successful in showing valuable data on how to do it better the next time :-) We can all learn from that :-)

Haha, all the British news channels report this before the main American ones.

Everyone in the SpaceX team are awesome. They managed to pull off something like this. I am looking forward to the future. 😁

[jrisner]

Looked like they used two engines for landing this time

[shariqueahmer]

He makes mistakes but never gives up. That's the spirit. Failure is bound to happen when you want to do something so big.

[JordanBoyer]

I don't usually cry but when I watched this live it had me in tears
All the pain and wars people have been through to get to this point in time and yet there's still hope that its not all in vain, thanks Elon and all at SpaceX for continuing steps towards a better future

Why did that post landing without failure remind of ‘button moon’ - tv kids show from 80’s !! Those guys from the program had it worked out all the time?

[HarshitSingh-hhvu]

I'm sure Elon Musk smiles like a proud father from Control Room

When you expect a beautiful landing,
He gives you Explosions.

When you demand an Explosion,
He gives you a perfect landing.


*Elon Musk should be entitled among the greatest "Men of Styles"*

I can see it now. How not to land experimental starship rockets.

[deanomcevoy]

Elson musk is a different breed of person what a genius, how have I only started to see this now.

[anthonyontv]

1:25 isn’t that metal super heavy? Why is it suspended in the air for so long?

[bobcemore]

So when is the guardian launching a rocket? They seem to think it’s so easy?

[thecrabpulsar]

So excited about the future of space exploration and travel. SpaceX is touching heights we could only dream of few years ago!

This is the 2nd space race, The first one was in the 1950s and 60s during the height of the Cold War and now Elon Musk is leading the way.
