Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu and Colorful M for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, April 22 (Xinhua)-- A new generation of carrier rocket starship (Starship) from Musk's space exploration technology company SpaceX finally ignited and launched, but exploded in the air and the first orbital test flight failed, according to previous news.

Recently, Musk replied on Twitter, "it seems that Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) 'starship' test launch may be ready again in one to two months." In other words, the starship is expected to try to launch again in the next 1-2 months.

According to CTOnews.com, SpaceX expects the starship's booster to fall into the Gulf of Mexico about eight minutes after launch. The capsule will continue to fly until it reaches an altitude of about 150 miles and re-enters the atmosphere after orbiting the earth for a period of time.

If all goes well, about 90 minutes after launch, the capsule will re-enter the atmosphere and crash into the Pacific Ocean 62 miles north of Kauai. However, things didn't work out as SpaceX expected.

According to the data disclosed by Musk, due to the use of recyclable design, the cost of a single launch is only about US $2 million, corresponding to its low-orbit carrying capacity of 100t. The cost of launching into orbit per kilogram of payload can be reduced to an astonishing $10, which will have the potential to revolutionize the aerospace industry.
