is a gives me not to what i do. the true combating . dealings starts april 29th on d w. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, the world's biggest space rock. it explodes the young crew space x starship lifts off from texas, but fails. just minutes later, croft is designed to take humans back to the moon and one day on tomorrow,

thousands are dead and a crash in yemen. many more are recovering in hospital. the victims were trying to get to school to collect charity handouts for ramadan. nato's chief years sultan burg makes his 1st visit to ukraine since the russian invasion, and he says keith should be part of the nato alliance. ah, god, awful smell, come. we start to show with a bang in the united states where the largest rock had ever to lift off the earth as exploded minutes off the take off. the giant thankfully on crude rocket from space egg successfully lifted off from the launch pad in brownsville, texas. but 3 minutes into the flight. starship caps will fail to separate from the booster. resulting was an explosive end for the rockets 1st test.

he's carry is the editor of space ref dot com. and i asked him whether that explosion means the launch was a failure. well, it depends which part of the rocket you worked on from? from my perspective, this was a 400 foot tall rock with 30 something inches by far the largest rocket. anybody has ever built times 2 or 3 depending how you do your math. it took off like a rocket should. now my high school high tech graphic here it went up, is for several minutes. the engines did their thing. and then the problem happened further up when we 2nd stage, or the starship itself didn't separate. so as a recovering rocket scientist, myself might say, wow, we is launch the biggest rocket ever launched. it didn't blow up. in fact, when it did come apart, that's because they blew it up because they want to be certainly didn't come down

the wrong place. so if we were so tell me what successes and failures ok. so this rock, a biggest rocket ever build. what can i do that other rockets can't? well, if you do 2 things, one, it can lift more stock because it's more powerful. but the other thing is, and i jokingly referred to this as a toaster. this is built in, it's sort of a consumer like fashion, like you would build airliners. if you look at a before where they build airliners, you'd see 50 or 60 of them lined up. whereas nasa or isa, or any other government space agency tends to build these very expensive rockets that are always delay in cost, billions and so forth. if you lose one of them, there's a congressional hearing. if you lose one of these, it's in the blooper reel. now honestly, sound like a being silly, but when iraq it becomes something that isn't the most expensive part of going to space totally changes your way of looking at how to use space. now, fha and space,

i've said that long term goal is to send humans to mars, with rockets like this one. what's the timeline for this? well again, this is sort of like flipped acore is they tend to say if you're nasa used to be the early 20 thirty's now it's the 20 forty's. you know, i've, i'm 67. when i grew up they were say, 980. so i get used to it, but with space acts, it's a private company, so they have a bit of a different way of, you know, guessing on these things. then a height of a little bit, but i wouldn't be surprised at either the 1st people to land on mars land in ships that were built by space x or that ones that nasa are isa bought from space x. i think that's what's going on, who you're seeing a paradigm shift unreal revealing itself in slow motion here. and you start to look at say, what is this me? and the answer is, i could do more things with what, with my money, i'm going to do more things with my money. k carvette at it of space ref dot com.
