SpaceX’s Mars prototype spacecraft, Starhopper, has flown for the last time in an astonishing flight as Elon Musk’s company moves ever close to reaching the Red Planet
SpaceX’s Mars prototype spacecraft, Starhopper, has flown for the last time in an astonishing flight that it saw it hover 150 meters above the ground, as Elon Musk’s company moves ever close to reaching the Red Planet.
The spacecraft gracefully took to the air after its engine roared to life, rising high above the ground before shimmying sideways and coming in for a gentle landing. As the smoke cleared the vehicle looked in good condition, and it will now be retired after a job well done. Proving this repeated launch and landing is possible is a major goal for SpaceX to show the possibilities of Starship and Super Heavy. The two could be used to transport people to different locations on Earth, according to Musk, as well as also taking people to space.
