For the second consecutive time, Space X is facing obstacles in its launches of the Starship rocket. At the end of February the ship self -destroyed and today its upper stage, known as Ship, also exploded in pieces. For Space X this represents several problems in the future.
The first one is an obvious delay in regard to the second generation of satellites for the Spacex Starlink system. A delay that produces a waterfall effect: according to Morgan StanleyStarship and Starlink are intertwined. On the one hand, the development of Starship allows Starlink cheapest releases, while Starlink’s profits, a system that offers satellite Internet to more than 70 countries, finances Starship’s advances. But there is more.
We also have its effects on The Artemis program, the mission that aims to return to the Moon and establish a long -lasting base there and for this Starship equipment would be used. In fact, NASA chose it as the only lunar human landing system for the man -manned Missions Artemis III and Artemis IV planned.
If accidents continue at a similar pace, The entire program will be affected and it could be delayed years. This would financially affect Space X and complicate the wheel that allows you to advance, invest and improve the system.
Finally, a crisis in Space X would also delay scientific research. Due to its private nature, Elon Musk’s company does not have to justify expenses or follow bureaucratic canons, which allows it to be faster in certain tasks. And more economical in others. More and more universities, space agencies and scientific organizations use Space X services to send satellites and display telescopes in space. Development in the development of aircraft such as Starship is a wheel that will affect scientific developmentwith this, it will slow down the necessary knowledge to establish a base on the moon, it will influence NASA’s confidence, create a stop in Starlink Satellites launches, something that will influence the economy of Space X … and the wheel will take a turn again.
