SpaceX Space Spectrum Awakened was the first trouble: a strong wind heavily damaged the upper part of a large spaceship rocket.

As a FATE TRUTH, a violent wind over Boca Chica (Texas) toppled part of the future space vehicle.

The network shares images of the scene – it is obvious that part of the ship rests on the ground in a very wrinkled form.

Ilon Mask has already commented on # 39; incident. According to him, he is aware that the wind is suffering from a disaster and that the restoration work will take several weeks.

The wind speed reached 80 km at the hour. The Verge Portal said that it could not resist some of the protective mechanisms that prevented the rocket from falling. As a result, the top of the ship fell to the ground. According to Mask, the prototype fuel tanks were not damaged.

Recall that on January 11 only, it was reported that SpaceX experts had finished the installation of a rocket launcher at the Texas launch site to carry out a suborbital flight test of several rockets – Space ship system.

Initially, the project was called Interplanetary Transport System, but Ilon Mask decided to rename it Big Falcon Rocket. The first degree is called Super Heavy and the second – Starship.

"The ship will enter the atmosphere with a second cosmic speed (11.2 km / s or 40320 km / h) and will land on engines on a specially prepared platform for a flight to the Moon or March, you need a third degree Starship will be the second and third degree.After leaving Starship in a low orbit close to Earth, it exhausts all the fuel.The first step, back on the platform Starting form, will recover another version of Starship – a ship fighter, in which the payload will constitute an additional mass of fuel.The guard will enter the same orbit as the first ship, will close it and partially fill its tanks. need several refueling flights so that a ship with equipment or people can join another heavenly organism, "explained the idea of ​​the author of the Alpha Centauri.
