SpaceX Repairs New Starship SN9 Prototype After Almost Toppling Over

Since crashing on its own designated location, Elon Musk's business SpaceX restored the latest Starship SN9 concept. In the official Boca Chia testing center, the latest Starship Serial Number 9 (SN9) allegedly began to lean and finally crashed on its own site. This came only a few moments after the latest explosion of the SN8 into a massive fireball.

The giant rocket had none on board. Starship, a 160-foot-tall spacecraft, was a concept that Musk would use to transport large rockets into Earth's orbit, shuttle citizens among communities at crazy speeds and create a human colony on Mars.

SN9 SpaceX Collapse

The launchpad that held Musk's rocket gave up, according to news.com.au. But its carrier remained intact. It finally captured the big rocket during this time, which then continued to smash directly into the ground shortly after the recent SpaceX SN8 uncrewed test capsule blew up when it crashed hard back into the ground on December 9.

In only 6 minutes and 40 seconds, the giant 48.8-meter SN8 completed the very first high-altitude ascent of around 12,497 meters. This then finished, though in a very spectacular explosion upon reaching the field. Musk also said the SN8 was very effective because it was able to capture the data required en route.

SpaceX Leaning SN9

SpaceX SN9 is the new prototype that had wingtips, nose cone, and much the same body configuration as the rockets that were around before. As to whether the SN9 suffered damage, it is still not certain. SpaceX confirmed that since the previous SN8 took off around Boca Chica, it was on its way to the launch pad, it has already officially designed 10 separate Starship designs as of the moment.

Elon Musk said that the SN9 would soon be able to transfer straight to the pad, which now has two working stands to carry out accelerated production research. It was also supposedly produced by rapidly building the next wave of modern prototypes to test them out quicker.

SN9 SpaceX falls

SpaceX claimed that the very own flight test of the SN8 would be an exciting phase in the company's creation of a fully reusable transportation device capable of transporting both crew and cargo to and from Earth orbit, Moon, and even Mars later. According to a survey, his designed stainless steel model currently stands about 50 meters tall and is about 9 meters in diameter.

An article by The Sun reported that for around five minutes it had already soared across the known Gulf of Mexico until it had turned sideways and ended in a free-fall back somewhere along the known Mexican boundary into the south-eastern tip of Texas. Musk related to this as a "belly flop" a motion intended to imitate the particular Starship strategy when it eventually completes its return trip from space to the atmosphere of the Planet.
