Space X is launching its 3rd massive Starship rocket today in the morning at around 9:30 am EDT. The Countdown already started at the Boca Chica, Texas launchpad. Starship launch today is highly anticipated and demonstrates new technology for the upcoming moon mission and beyond.
Starship is the Space X heavy booster rocket that is prepared to take many uploads to the moon and others as well and return safely to the earth. This launch of Starship will be so crucial for Space X because it’s most of the future plans depend on it.
It is already launched at 9:30 am EDT today. The Starship has a 110-minute of window on Thursday, with lift-off targeted for 9:25 am EDT about 30 minutes in.
Space X Third Starship Rocket Launch Unable to Achieve it’s Feet
SpaceX successfully launched its Starship from the coast of South Texas. But it traveled halfway through the earth but it was lost as it entered the earth into the lost during the time of its re-entry into the ocean.

Space X has achieved a few milestones in its third Starship launch that will help them in their future space endeavor. It successfully opens and closes the door of its payloads, it also manages to successfully launch it’s several tons of liquid oxygen between the two tanks within the rocket.
This achievement is great for future lunar missions, Starship is fully reusable it consists of two stages -: the lower rocket booster and the upper spacecraft stage, the company intends to be both fully reusable in the future.
Space X Starship Programme is a Highly Significant Mission for the Upcoming Moon Mission
Starship is a heavy and large rocket with a size 400-foot tall booster. The company will webcast the launch attempt. Space X already launched its two Starship rockets previously which failed.
Its first Starship rocket launched in April which turned out to be a disaster for Space X as it exploded minutes after it launched.
The second Starship rocket launched was a bit successful it actually achieved a few milestones like the separation of the first-stage booster known as Super Heavy and the upper-stage Starship spacecraft, but the company lost contact with the vehicle later on.
Starship was selected by NASA for its future Artemis III moon mission to carry astronauts to the moon. Starship will carry small satellites and payloads to the moon to set up a base for its future Artemis III mission.
In its third Starship flight Space X wanted to achieve a successful re-entry on the Indian Ocean through Earth’s atmosphere. Space X wanted to launch its Starship’s Raptor engines, while in space.
Open and close the vehicle payload door and transfer propellant between two of the Straship’s tanks in orbit.
Although the mission is partially successful and unable to achieve its feat. This mission helps the engineer to work on the vehicle’s different aspects especially its lower rocket booster and upper spacecraft to be used and fly over and over gain. Their analysis will help the engineers to work on the Starship Rocket’s future moon mission.
