Elon Musk Starship launched with a banana in space know reason

Elon Musk’s company SpaceX, one of the world’s biggest billionaires, recently achieved a new feat. The company successfully tested the sixth flight of its powerful rocket ‘Starship’. But the most interesting thing in this mission was a ‘Banana!’ Yes, in this mission, Elon Musk also sent a banana into space inside the rocket, which has now become a topic of discussion. The company has even used a banana sticker on the outside of the Starship. After all, what is the reason for sending this banana, let us tell you.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX also sent a banana in the sixth test flight of its spaceship on Tuesday. This artificial banana was kept in a safe place in the flight. In fact, when any spacecraft leaves the Earth’s orbit and enters space, the gravity there becomes zero. This artificial banana became an indicator for the crew keeping an eye on the spacecraft. As soon as the starship reached microgravity, this ‘fake banana’ started floating in the air. The team came to know that now there is zero gravity there. That means scientists get physical evidence that the spacecraft has now reached space.

This banana was kept in the cargo hold. The company had also sent a cargo box with it. This is an easy method that scientists adopt to detect zero gravity. But banana has been used for this purpose for the first time. SpaceX has another motive behind this. In fact, the company also used it keeping in mind the regulatory process of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) so that the company does not have to face any kind of hindrance in future. In a way, SpaceX has also tried to show the FAA that cargo can also be sent into space. According to Space.com, the company said that for the first time it has sent a physical payload into space.

SpaceX has done this completely new experiment which will prove helpful in making its future flights easier in terms of FAA. This step seems to have been taken so that the company does not face delays in its space projects. The company may do more such experiments in the coming times. Soon the company is going to start cargo testing for which this banana has already prepared a role. However, many types of memes are also being seen on this experiment of SpaceX in the internet world.
