Kwaziwa ukuthi isibonelo sesine somkhumbi-mkhathi we-SpaceX Starship sacekelwa phansi ngenxa yokuqhuma okwenzeka ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa komlilo wenjini ye-Raptor efakwe kuso.
Ukuhlolwa kwe-Starship SN4 kwenziwa phansi futhi ekuqaleni konke kwahamba ngokohlelo, kodwa ekugcineni kwaba nokuqhuma okunamandla okwacekela phansi umkhumbi-mkhathi. Isikhathi sokuqhuma sishicilelwe enkundleni yezokuxhumana i-Twitter.
Ake sikukhumbuze ukuthi i-Starship yakhelwe ukusetshenziswa kabusha futhi ibekwe yi-SpaceX njengomkhumbi-mkhathi wesizukulwane esisha ophethwe umuntu. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi i-prototype yesine ikwazile ukunqoba izivivinyo eziningi, i-SpaceX ayikakwenzi ukuhlolwa kwendiza yedivayisi.
I-RIP Starship SN4?

Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi ngaphambi kokuqhuma, i-prototype ye-Starship SN4 iphumelele ngempumelelo ezinye izivivinyo, kuhlanganise nokuhlolwa kwengcindezi ye-cryogenic. Lokhu kufezwe okwesine kuphela, futhi imizamo emithathu yangaphambili ayiphumelelanga. Ngaphezu kwalokho, eyokuqala , lapho injini yomkhumbi yasebenza cishe imizuzwana emine.
Ngokuzayo, i-SpaceX, ephethwe ngu-Elon Musk, ihlela ukusebenzisa i-Starship indizela eNyangeni, ku-Mars nangale kwayo.
Okokugcina, ake sengeze ukuthi lesi sibonelo se-Starship sihluke kakhulu kunerokhethi ye-Falcon 9 kanye nomkhumbi-mkhathi we-Crew Dragon, lapho osomkhathi be-NASA behlelelwe ukuhamba khona besuka eFlorida beya e-ISS namuhla.
