Washington: World’s richest person Elon Musk’s company SpaceX has intensified the business race in the world of space. To ensure its participation in this race, the Spectrum rocket launched by a German startup Isar Aerospace landed on the ground 40 seconds after takeoff and exploded. Reacting to this, Elon Musk said that space is a difficult place, if you want to reach there, you can take help from SpaceX.
Commenting below the video of the rocket explosion on the social media site X, Musk wrote, “Isar Aerospace can achieve its goal in some more efforts. But only SpaceX can be trusted for the reliability and trust needed for space travel.”
Let us tell you that German start-up Isar Aerospace tried to launch its Spectrum rocket from Andoya Spaceport on Sunday, but after a few seconds of flight, it came down to the ground and exploded. This attempt by the German company may have failed, but it has sharpened Europe’s ambition in space business. This was the first flight from European soil.
Isar Aerospace also encouraged its team for this failed attempt. It was said on their behalf that we had already warned that this flight could end even before its initial phase. However, we have got a lot of extensive data from this, from which we and our team can learn a lot.
Isar Aerospace CEO Daniel Metzler said that this was our first flight and we got as much success from it as we had expected. The 30-second flight has helped us collect very important data. He said that we did not want to reach orbit in the first attempt, our effort was to collect data. We are currently making two such spectrum rockets, they will also be used for testing.
This rocket launch was completed from Norwegian soil. The Norwegian administration said that no one was harmed due to the rocket crash. Only the rocket crashed, there was no loss of life or property.
