SpaceX公司14日第三次尝试发射“星舰”，取得较大进展。
“星舰”于美东时间9时25分从得克萨斯州博卡奇卡基地发射升空。所有33台“猛禽”发动机均正常点火。随后“超重型推进器”和顶部的“星舰”飞船顺利“热分离”。
“星舰”飞船似乎完美登上太空。不仅“星舰”飞船的速度接近将其送入亚轨道所需的速度，而且还完成了打开和关闭有效载荷舱门，转移推进剂等测试。
“星舰”飞船约40分钟后进行再入大气层。但不久之后，团队就与飞船失联。“星舰”在再入过程中失去了与“星链”和跟踪与数据中继卫星的通信，这暗示飞船已经解体。SpaceX团队表示，由于失联将不再有溅落。

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that you can buy, sell and exchange directly, without an intermediary like a bank. Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, originally described the need for “an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust.” Each and every Bitcoin transaction that’s ever been made exists on a public ledger accessible to everyone, making transactions hard to reverse and difficult to fake. That’s by design: Core to their decentralized nature, Bitcoins aren’t backed by the government or any issuing institution, and there’s nothing to guarantee their value besides the proof baked in the heart of the system. “The reason why it’s worth money is simply because we, as people, decided it has value—same as gold,” says Anton Mozgovoy, co-founder & CEO of digital financial service company Holyheld.
