Volete parlare delle ricadut

Today, NASA's Space Launch System core stage engine test ended about one minute into the expected eight-minute hot fire. Teams will assess the data from the engine shutdown to determine the next steps. Tune in to NASA TV for a post-test update at approx. 8pm ET: https://go.nasa.gov/38QpLO7 | NASA Artemis

Elon Musk's SpaceX on Tuesday, August 26, launched its giant Starship rocket for a tenth test flight aiming to overcome development setbacks and clinch long-sought technical milestones key to the Mars rocket's reusable design. The towering 403-foot-tall Starship system lifted off around 7:30 PM from SpaceX's Starbase facilities in south Texas on a mission to test the ship's new heat shield tiles and satellite deployment abilities, among hundreds of other upgrades from past iterations.
