For the richest man Musk’s SpaceX, there should be three important tasks at hand, one is to continue to use the Falcon 9 rocket for regular launches, the second is to speed up the deployment of Starlink satellites, and the third is to develop the Starship starship. The starship is a bit of a modern spacecraft and will be used to perform missions to the moon and fire. Structurally, it is mainly composed of two parts, the upper stage is the starship hull, and the lower stage is the heavy rocket thruster Raptor. A ground-fire test earlier this month ultimately failed, and over the past two days, several photos of broken fuel pipes have circulated on social media. To this, Musk responded that, as you can see, the fuel line of the Booster 7 propulsion exploded during the stress test in the previous few weeks. It is understood that the propellers of the starship use methane and liquid oxygen as fuel. There is an unconfirmed claim that the fuel pipe burst was caused by the operator’s faulty pressurization. In addition, some aerospace enthusiasts recalled that in 2016, the Falcon 9 rocket seemed to have a tragic explosion due to a similar refueling problem. .
