The report further mentioned that the rocket made an arc over the Gulf of Mexico. Before this, four Starships were launched in which all of them got destroyed. Although, this Starship did not follow them and stood out.
Elon Musk views over the launch
The CEO and CTO of SpaceX, Elon musk took his social media account and posted over X that the starship was made with a booster. The booster will help in having a reflight within an hour after the take off.
The CEO further went on explaining that the booster comes back in 5 minutes and the time which is left is utilized in refilling the fuel and keeping the ship over the booster.
The surge of tokens has nothing to do with the CEO of the space technology company. The media popularity was the biggest reason for the surge.
Elon Musk is now well known for his involvement in the crypto industry. Although he does not own any token. He has also shown his efforts for the famous memecoin, Dogecoin by giving funds to the memecoin for its space mission but somehow it didn’t work out.
He has also influenced many traders by just posting over X and helped in receiving significant gains for many cryptocurrencies. Many scammers took advantage and introduced fake giveaways to lure the users at that time.
