Elon Musk's company SpaceX successfully tested the prototype of the Starship spacecraft

Yesterday (August 4), Elon Musk's SpaceX company successfully tested a prototype spacecraft

new generation Starship SN5.

What is known

The prototype rose 150 meters into the air withoutproblems returned to the company’s spaceport, which is located near the village of Boca Chica (Texas). Up to this point, the ship had repeatedly exploded during testing. The SN5 prototype was equipped with one Raptor engine, but the final version of the ship will have five of these engines (for more thrust). The prototype still looks featureless. Overall, it now looks more like a water tower than a ship.
