After two failed attempts, Elon Musk's SpaceX has finally achieved success with the launch of its Starship rocket, marking a historic milestone in space exploration.

The 120-meter (395-foot) long Starship rocket was successfully launched from Texas, United States, at approximately 7:30 PM Bangladesh time on Thursday. This launch comes after the cancellation of the previous attempt on Monday due to complications related to fuel pressure.

This successful launch is a significant breakthrough for Musk's ambitious mission to Mars, as the Starship rocket plays a pivotal role in NASA's exploration plans for the red planet.

Expressing gratitude to the SpaceX team for their dedication and efforts, Musk took to social media to announce the achievement, stating, "Starship has achieved the desired speed. Thanks SpaceX team."

Following the launch, the focus now shifts to the rocket's safe return to Earth's surface. SpaceX has designated the Indian Ocean as the landing site for this third launch attempt, a deviation from the previous landing sites near the Hawaiian Islands. This change aims to enhance public safety in the event of an engine burnout in the sky.

The journey to success has not been without challenges, as both of the rocket's previous attempts ended in explosions. The first launch in April last year saw both the starship and the super heavy booster explode mid-flight. Similarly, the second orbital flight test in November met a similar fate.

However, with perseverance and continuous improvement, SpaceX has overcome these setbacks to achieve a successful launch, bringing humanity one step closer to realizing the dream of interplanetary travel and exploration.
