Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen South China Wu Yanzu for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com November 20 news, Beijing time early this morning, Musk on the X platform issued a document praising the construction of the starship launch pad: "Just tested the launch pad, in good condition! Next time we launch, we won't have to fix the water-cooled steel. Congratulations to the SpaceX team and contractors for designing and building such a robust system so quickly! "

Some netizens asked Musk: "From the technical preparation point of view, what is the feasible timetable for the third test flight? Musk replied,"The hardware for Starship Flight 3 is expected to be ready for service in three to four weeks, and three ships are in final production and you can see them on the highway." "

CTOnews.com reported this weekend that SpaceX officials said that during the test, the starship successfully launched under the power of all 33 Raptor engines on the superheavy booster and passed the interstage thermal separation.

Officials acknowledged, however, that the booster underwent a rapid unplanned breakup shortly after stage separation (live broadcasts showed a post-separation explosion), and that the starship's engines continued to burn for several minutes en route to space.

SpaceX officials finally said that "today's test will help us improve the reliability of the starship," which is also ambiguous, saying neither success nor failure.

Musk also offered congratulations to the SpaceX team, but didn't reveal more.

The Federal Aviation Administration considers the result an accident and will oversee SpaceX's investigation into the cause of the accident. The FAA added in a separate post that there were no reports of casualties or damage to public property from the flight.
