On April 20, the Starship SN24, the largest rocket in the history of the space race, exploded after its launch.<\/p>\n
That same day we saw here the impressive launch<\/a>. One of the most striking details in the video is the reference to the enormous amount of smoke and dust it generated<\/strong>. It should be noted that the launch pad for the SpaceX Starbase in Boca Chica, in Texas, was built without flame diverters<\/strong>, some tunnels that exist at the bases of the NASA launch pads that help to reduce the expulsion of material and also to reduce the sound.<\/p>\n The consequences of the Starship launch pad design have been rather negative. Some pieces of concrete from the platform were thrown up to a distance of 10 kilometres<\/strong>, causing damage to the warehouses at the base and to cars parked nearby. Also, in the town of Port Isabel, 10.5 km from Boca Chica, the launch broke windows<\/a> of homes and businesses, as well as causing a rain of sand.<\/p>\n
