SpaceX's Starship Rocket Launch Has 50% Chance of Explosion, Says Elon Musk.

Elon Musk has admitted there is a 50% chance that SpaceX's $3 billion Starship rocket could explode during its first orbital lift-off, which is set to take place over the next few weeks. If the first launch attempt is unsuccessful, Musk said that SpaceX is building several more Starship rockets and that overall he believes there is an 80% chance one of them will reach orbit before the end of the year. The Starship rocket was built to go to Mars and is capable of carrying up to 100 people to the Red Planet on a journey that is 250 times further than the moon and would take around nine months each way.
