In case you missed it this week in science news, SpaceX launched its S10 prototype “Starship” on Wednesday. It had successful launch and landing for the most part. It was a leaning a bit on the landing pad and evidently there was and a fuel leak, untimely cause it to explode not long after touch down. Thankfully no one was hurt and at least it had a successful landing unlike it predecessors S8 and S9. At least when their building S11 is have a good set of legs to stand on or should I say a good… launching point. hahaha
Here's the Flight test video and the explosion.
N.A.S.A sent back good news, their Perseverance rover took it first stroll on the surface leaving its first wheel prints. Check out the pics.
More wild space news, There is a company called Orbital Assembly, and they're planning for the first hotel in space. It's going to be ridiculously expensive to stay there, 3 nights will cost 5 million dollars! I’m gonna need to get me a sugar daddy. Haha just kidding. They want to start building it in 2025, and it could open in as little as 6 years in 2027! How insane it that!?? It reminds of the space station from the movie "Zenon girl of the 21st century," it was a one of my favorite Disney Channel Original Movies.
Here’s the hotel teaser and the Zenon movie trailer cued up to the space station from the movie.
