Musk's Mars Exploration Spaceship Explodes Again (Update)

Consecutive Failures Following Last Year

[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] SpaceX, the space exploration company operated by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, experienced another explosion during the landing of its Mars exploration spacecraft.

On the 2nd (local time), SpaceX's Mars exploration spacecraft prototype 'SN9' exploded during the landing process after a test launch in Texas.

SN9 reached an altitude of 10 km that day and began its descent, seemingly landing safely, but it exploded upon impact with the ground.

The SN8, launched on the 12th of last month, also exploded during its landing process.

SpaceX stated, "We had a great flight today, but we need to work a bit more on the landing."

Musk and SpaceX have plans to relocate humanity to Mars by 2050.
