Starhopper Engine Test FAIL?! Crew Dragon Explosion Explained & Other Space News

You might also have been shocked by the huge fireball during SpaceX's Starhopper test, but we explain why the recent Starhopper engine test was actually not so bad as it looked. Furthermore, SpaceX's engineers finally found out the cause of SpaceX Crew Dragon accident three months ago. Of course, NASA's celebration for the 50th anniversary of lunar landing and India's second lunar exploration mission must not be missing in this week's space news either.

0:52 Despite the fireball, the Starship raptor static fire test with SpaceX Starhopper raptor engine SN06 was a success. The fire actually occurred only after SpaceX new engine test and could be caused by a methane leak.
2:12 SpaceX's engineers have identified the reason of SpaceX Crew Dragon anomaly during its last routine test, as well as have proposed a solution for it.
3:44 India's Chandrayaan-2 moon mission has been delayed due to a faulty plumbing. But the new launch date should still be in this month. We're looking forward to seeing whether the Indian lunar rover would be able to find water ice at the lunar South Pole.
4:43 On NASA's celebration event for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin met at the historic launchpad 39A and shared interesting insights from their amazing moon landing mission.

Despite the celebrating atmosphere at NASA, we're quite sad that they actually haven't made any major progress in manned spaceflight since the Apollo program 50 years ago. There isn't any new progress of NASA Artemis program either, and we deeply doubt if NASA Artemis moon mission with their SLS rocket will meet its schedule. Hence we're all the more grateful for the existence of SpaceX and Elon Musk. After this week's Starhopper raptor test, we're eagerly waiting for the untethered SpaceX hopper test flight, as well as hopefully Elon Musk Starship presentation and the release of Spacex Starship website.
