Looking back at the explosion of the SN10 interstellar spacecraft, former astronaut Nelson will be the director of NASA

1. SpaceX interstellar spacecraft The tenth failure of the SN series is indeed expected.

A few minutes after the take-off of the starship SN10, everything went according to plan. Now, SpaceX has released a review video of the most recent high-altitude test flight, which includes a video of the aircraft itself, as well as a close-up detailed view of the rocket engine as it enters the landing. You can clearly see how the landing foot stretches as it falls, and the SN10 bounces up in the smoke coming out of the landing.

-Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 17th, 2021 _span2p _pan4 blockquote blockquote _span4 The leg that was crushed by the impact, or the dramatic explosion that followed, is similar to the video summary released after the SN8 flight test. Elon Musk (Elon Musk) detailed the "multiple" fixes that SpaceX plans to carry out in its next flight, and announced on Twitter tonight that SN11 is "almost ready to fly".

But this video tells about the success of the flight test. As the description on YouTube indicates, “It successfully ascended, transitioned the propellant, and repositioned to re-enter and underwent an active aerodynamic control descent. The SN10 Raptor engine fired again to perform the vehicle’s landing. Turn over the maneuver and land on the landing pad immediately."


2. The video of the SN1 failure was announced as early as March 3

ul413ul li42span Space has been released on March 3rd. A new video showing the landing of the third interstellar spacecraft rocket prototype on the 3rd.
  • This video provides close-up shots of the running engine and shows the rebound of the SN10 rocket during landing.
  • The prototype of the spacecraft SN10 exploded 10 minutes after landing, but this was ignored in the video.
  • View more stories on Insider's business page.
  • Elon Musk's SpaceX released the latest high-definition video of the starship rocket test flight on Wednesday.

    A rocket prototype named SN10 was successfully launched from Boca Chica, Texas on March 3. SN10 landed in one piece, but exploded on the landing gear 10 minutes later. SpaceX excluded the explosion from the new video.

    The review video shows close-up shots of the rocket engine in operation during launch and landing. You will see the 16-story test rocket bouncing on the landing pad, surrounded by smoke.

    You can also see the rocket's legs stretch as they fall back to the earth.

    This video also includes footage taken by the rocket in orbit.

    In the description of the film, SpaceX wrote: "Test flights such as SN10 are to enhance our understanding and development of a fully reusable transportation system designed to transport crews and cargo to long-term During the interplanetary flight, and to help humans return to the moon, and to Mars and other places."

    This is the third test flight of a starship prototype conducted by SpaceX.The other two prototypes exploded immediately after landing. Six days after the launch of


    , Musk said on Twitter that the work of the next interstellar spacecraft prototype SN11 has undergone multiple repairs.

    He said: "The thrust of the SN10 engine is very low. This may be due to the partial intake of helium from the fuel tank." He added that the impact of speed crushed part of the rocket legs and buttocks.

    Musk hopes to land humans on Mars with his spacecraft rocket in 2026, even though his timetable has been shaken in the past few years. Space experts believe that if everything goes according to plan, he can achieve his goals.

    SpaceX CEO announced on Twitter on Wednesday that SpaceX is about to launch SN11.


    3. Nelson will become the number one in NASA, he is very supportive of Musk

    White House chose to announce on Friday (Joe Biden) Democratic Senator Bill Nelson (Bill Nelson) leads NASA. If approved by the Senate, Nelson will succeed Jim Bridenstine, who will be removed at the end of Donald Trump's term.

    Three-term senators from Florida and the Biden allies have long been advocates of NASA missions. In 1986,He boarded the space shuttle Columbia and became the second permanent member of Congress. He is also the appointed voice critic of Jim Bridenstine. "I have heard what I have said many times in this committee: NASA is not wrong. The leader of NASA should not be wrong." Before the vote, he agreed between parties. Not to be seen.


    Nielsen will oversee the agency at a critical moment in its history. Halfway through the month, NASA landed Perseverance, its most technologically advanced rover to date, on the surface of Mars. In the new years, it will explore the earth, looking for signs of ancient life. He will also oversee NASA's attempts to return to the moon under the Artemis project. The agency’s current goal is to bring humans back to the lunar surface by 2024. This is an ambitious timetable, NASA may be in trouble.

    If anything could derail Nelson's confirmation hearing, it is his history of supporting the Space Launch System (SLS). The project to build a new type of heavy-duty rocket for NASA was several years later than originally planned, and the budget was overrun by billions of dollars.

    Nelson is very supportive of Musk. There are rumors that he wants to be the second person buried on Mars. He also has the dream of chasing spaceflight. He will not give up his ideal easily, otherwise the Americans will be brave and tenacious. The reputation of being brave to explore is blown out.
