Elon Musk News: The world's richest man and CEO of Tesla company, Elon Musk, has always amazed people with his technological innovations. His company, SpaceX, recently achieved a historic feat that has surprised the whole world. October 13 is a day of special significance for Elon Musk, because on this day his company SpaceX successfully completed the fifth flight of the Starship rocket. This flight was also special because for the first time the Super Heavy Starship rocket successfully landed back on the launch pad after being launched.Successful journey at an altitude of 96 kilometers from the EarthThis launch of SpaceX was done from the southern tip of Texas, near the border with Mexico. The Super Heavy Starship was sent to an altitude of 96 kilometers from the Earth and was successfully called back. When the rocket returned, Mackilla on the launchpad successfully caught it. Mackilla is a unique structure designed like two metal arms that work as chopsticks. In the four launches before this, this type of successful return of the rocket could not be achieved. Previous rockets were either destroyed in the air or fell into the Gulf of Mexico, but on October 13, SpaceX made history by overcoming this challenge.Starship: 700 times more thrust powerStarship has 6 huge Raptor engines, but this time the Super Heavy Starship had 33 engines, which generate about 74 meganewtons of thrust. Its thrust power was 700 times more than that of normal rocket flights, making it an incredibly powerful and advanced rocket. Its purpose is to travel to remote places like Mars and the Moon in the future, and this flight proved that this goal could soon become a reality.Big leap in SpaceX's engineeringKate Tice, who monitored the flight from SpaceX's California headquarters, said, "This is a big day in engineering history." During the launch, a decision was made whether to attempt a 'landing' or not. The attempt was given the green light only after ensuring the stability and position of the booster and launch tower, and this time, the attempt was successful.A step towards future space missionsThis achievement of SpaceX has opened a new path towards space exploration. This flight of Starship will prove to be a milestone for the upcoming space missions. Through this technology, SpaceX aims to make space travel more accessible and low-cost, so that space travel in future can become a reality and not just science fiction.This feat of Elon Musk is the result of his ambitious approach and the advanced technology developed by him. This success of SpaceX has not only given him a leading position in the space industry but has also raised a new hope for the future of humanity.
