SpaceX, a space development company led by Elon Musk, is developing a spacecraft prototype, Starhopper. Star Hopper’s flight test was also stopped when it turned into a fireball in an unexpected fire in July. But on August 27th, Elon Musk revealed that the Starhopper had a great flight in a new test. The Star Hopper flying 150m is also published on YouTube.

SpaceX is developing rockets and spacecraft, including the giant rocket Falcon Heavy. The Falcon Heavy is a giant rocket consisting of three Falcon 9 rockets, but SpaceX is also considering the operation of BFR, a super-large rocket that far exceeds the Falcon Heavy. The BFR can be reached anywhere in the world in an hour, for use like a passenger plane, and it has the potential to fly manned to Mars. The first booster part of this BFR is Super Heavy, and the spacecraft part is Starship.
Starship’s small prototype machine is the Star Hopper that conducted a test flight. Starhopper had a scene where a fireball appeared in the experiment in July. It was revealed that sparks spew out from the top of the rocket without starting the engine or coming out of the aircraft.

SpaceX said the test was halted on the day due to an unexpected fire. Of course, as previously stated, Elon Musk said on August 27 that Starhofer had done a great job. Successfully flying 150m above. After a flight of less than a minute, it slowly returned to the ground. After a successful test flight, Elon Musk tweeted that someday Starship would land on the rough sands of Mars.
