The top US billionaire Elon Musk's space exploration company, "SpaceX," has set a new milestone, opening the door to new possibilities for humanity's future space missions.
Today (October 14, 2024), SpaceX successfully completed the fifth trial of the world's most advanced, cutting-edge, largest, and most powerful space rocket, the "Starship." With this trial, they have set a new record. They successfully launched the first stage of this massive rocket, the Super Heavy booster (fuel cylinder), into space. Additionally, they managed to safely land the booster back on Earth. To land the booster, they used a massive mechanical hand. As a result, the booster was able to pass through Earth's atmosphere at a slow pace and reconnect with the launch pad in Texas, USA. With this technology, complex machinery previously required to land spacecraft will no longer be necessary. This is a significant new milestone in human history. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) envisions sending humans to the Moon again in 2025 using this Starship rocket. NASA has allocated a budget of 4 billion US dollars (approximately 40 thousand crore Bangladeshi taka) to SpaceX for this mega project.
Essentially, by successfully returning a space rocket booster from the atmosphere to Earth, SpaceX can avoid the hassle of repeatedly manufacturing rocket parts. SpaceX will be able to reuse the same booster, which will aid in fulfilling NASA and SpaceX's dreams of returning to the Moon and reaching Mars in the future.
