On October 13, 2024, SpaceX successfully launched(发射)its fifth test flight(飞行)of the Starship rocket from Texas. This test was very important because it showed that rockets could be used again.
The Starship rocket has two parts: the Starship spacecraft and the Super Heavy rocket booster(推进器). In the morning, the Starship spacecraft was launched on top of the Super Heavy rocket. After a few minutes, the Super Heavy rocket moved apart from the Starship and went back to Earth. SpaceX used very large metal arms, called "chopsticks" to catch the rocket in mid-air. This was the first time SpaceX caught a rocket like this.
At the same time, the Starship spacecraft went on flying before dropping down in the Indian Ocean. Although the spacecraft went down to the sea, this test showed that rockets could be reused, and that is what SpaceX wants to make space travel cheaper and better for the environment(环境).
This successful test flight brings SpaceX closer to their dream of making space travel less expensive and sustainable. It also supports future plans to the Moon and Mars(火星).
