SpaceX launches most powerful rocket in history in explosive debut – like many first liftoffs, Starship's test was a successful failure

On April 20, 2023, a new SpaceX rocket called Starship exploded over the Gulf of Mexico three minutes into its first flight ever. SpaceX is calling the test launch a success, despite the fiery end result. As a space policy expert, I agree that the “rapid unscheduled disassembly” – the term SpaceX uses when its rockets explode – was a very successful failure.The most powerful rocket ever builtStarship is the most powerful rocket ever developed and is designed to be fully reusable.

On April 20, 2023, a new SpaceX rocket called Starship exploded over the Gulf of Mexico three minutes into its first flight ever. SpaceX is calling the test launch a success, despite the fiery end result. As a space policy expert, I agree that the “rapid unscheduled disassembly” – the term SpaceX uses when its rockets explode – was a very successful failure.

The most powerful rocket ever built

    • Starship is the most powerful rocket ever developed and is designed to be fully reusable.
    • The first stage is designed to get the rocket to about 40 miles (65 kilometers) above Earth.

An explosive first flight

    • If it had been successful, once the first stage was spent, it would have separated from the upper stage and crashed into the Gulf of Mexico.
    • Starship would then have continued on, eventually crashing 155 miles (250 kilometers) off of Hawaii.
    • During the SpaceX livestream, the team stated that the primary goal of this mission was to get the rocket off the launch pad.
    • All modern rockets have mechanisms built into them that allow engineers to safely destroy the rocket in flight if need be.

Success or failure?

    • In the past two years, both South Korea and Japan have attempted to launch new rockets that also failed to reach orbit.
    • Commercial companies such as Virgin Orbit and Relativity Space have also lost rockets recently.
    • None of these were crewed missions, and in most of these failed launches, flight engineers purposefully destroyed the rockets after problems arose.
