Spacex Starship Rocket explodes while the EU ARIANE 6 project ends the mission
On Thursday, two high -profile rocket launches ended with many different results. For Spacex, launching it in southern Texas Star rocket As part of his current mission to Mars project ended with an explosion in space minutes after liftingS
Meanwhile, the EU celebrates successfully satellite implementation of Second launch of his ARIANE 6 rocket from French Guiana. The project had exceeding costs and years of delay, but the successful mission on Thursday was a huge victory for Europe as it seeks to become more independent than the United States in space missions.
Spacex publishes a message to x Regarding Starship’s mission, saying: “With such a test, success comes from what has been learned, and today’s flight will help us improve the reliability of Starship. We will conduct an in -depth investigation in coordination with the FAA and will apply corrective action to achieve improvements in future Starship flight tests. ” The post indicated Spacex Web page for the missionS

The French government said it has explicit political reasons for missing missions such as Ariana 6. Philip Baptist, the country’s research minister, said the presence of Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the US White House is already affecting scientific and commercial partnerships in the international plan, According to the Ars Technica websiteS
“If we want to maintain our independence, guarantee our security and preserve our sovereignty, we must equip ourselves with the means of strategic autonomy. The space is an essential part of it,” Baptist said.
However, an expert said that space observers should not consider the two launches as a simple case of winner against loser. Chris BoswenAustralian astronaut and founder of the Space Sector Risk Capital Company Interplanetary Capital LLCHe said SpaceX is still a leading company at Rocket Technologies, in particular with his Falcon 9 division, which he calls, “probably one of the best missile companies that are built.”
“They have completely transformed access to space with a reusable Falcon 9 rocket,” Boshezen said. “If SpaceX has never done anything else afterwards, it will still be a huge success and one for history textbooks.”

Boshuizen says that government projects such as ARIANE 6 and Spacex for inserting rockets into space are two very different models, with the EU perceiving the design design design design design to the start of a destination, which he described as a “remnant of the traditional way of doing business”.
SpaceX, on the other hand, detects flaws by launching, even if it risks losing assets.
“They move very fast,” he said. “(Starship’s start) was exciting to watch, perhaps a little disappointing, but not surprisingly. Spacex managed to move forward by taking risks.”
Boshuizen says that if the faster SpaceX innovation leads to less rockets in the ocean in the long run, this is ultimately a good thing.
“This is a faster way to get to a finished product. The best space simulation is actually space,” he said.
