The company SpaceX, which belongs to the billionaire Elon Musk, carried out the first launch of the super-heavy Starship rocket, which should bring people to Mars in the future.

 This is written by the press service of SpaceX.

 The rocket launched from a site in Texas as part of a test launch.

 After the start of the launch, it became known that part of the Raptor engines, which were installed on the Super Heavy rocket carrier, failed.

 The moment of the rocket launch

 A minute later, the rocket began to rotate, as a result of which it deviated from the correct course. A little later, the Starship still exploded over the Gulf of Mexico.

 Before the launch, Musk noted that it may take several attempts to successfully launch the rocket.

 SpaceX, for its part, promises to study the problems that arose during the launch and continue work on Starship.

 We will remind, RBC-Ukraine wrote that in April the US Federal Civil Aviation Administration granted SpaceX's request for flight tests of the Starship rocket.

 The first test flight was supposed to take place on Monday, April 17, but the company postponed it due to problems with the pressure valve.
