On March 3, local time, the "Starship" prototype rocket used by SpaceX for manned voyages in space made the third launch attempt. This time the rocket successfully completed the landing, but a few minutes after landing explosion occurs.
US media reported that despite the huge explosion after landing, this (smooth landing) is still an important milestone for SpaceX.
The U.S. Space Technology Exploration Corporation launched prototype rockets on December 9, 2020 and February 2, 2021, respectively. They both exploded and disintegrated during landing, but the test was still deemed successful because the main goal was not landing. It is to check the movement of the rocket in the air: steering, maneuverability when gliding to the surface, and the operation of each system.
