## Resource

SpaceXs Starship, the largest ever sent to space, successfully completed a test flight for NASAs Artemis moon landing program. The rocket, called V3, is taller and more powerful than previous models, and it carried twenty mock Starlink satellites. Despite engine hiccups, the spacecraft reached the Indian Ocean before crashing, providing valuable data for future missions. The launch was smooth, unlike previous attempts, and the spacecraft stayed on course despite not all engines firing. The redesigned booster features stronger fins and a robust fuel line, and the spacecraft is packed with more cameras and computer power. NASA is investing in SpaceX and Blue Origin to build lunar landers, with the goal of having astronauts practice docking with Starship or Blue Origins lander for future moon landings.
