The Starship&#8216;s many engines are isolated from each other, preventing the risk of one engine failure causing failure of all as in the case of the Soviet Union&#8217;s N1 rocket, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday.
What Happened: &#8220;If engine failures are isolated from each other and the primary airframe, then more engines &#x2A;increases&#x2A; reliability,&#8221; Musk said in a post on social media platform X. &#8220;The problem with N-1 was that a failure of any engine caused failure of all.&#8221;

The Starship has often been compared to the Soviet N1 rocket owing to its large number of engines. Musk himself has admitted that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32566212/elon-musk-reacts-to-comparison-of-starship-with-doomed-rocket-that-knocked-soviet-union-out-of-moon">N1 is the closest comparable rocket to Starship</a>. However, the Starship has 33 engines on its Super Heavy booster, even more than the 30 engines on the Soviet N1&#8217;s first stage.
About N1: N1 was aimed at enabling crewed travel to the moon. However, all four attempts to launch failed and the program was suspended in 1974.
The Soviets carried out a clandestine launch of the N1 on July 3, 1969, which ended up in a colossal explosion. This effectively knocked out the Soviet Union from the Moon race just days before U.S. astronauts walked on the surface of the moon.
About Starship: Starship is SpaceX&#8217;s most ambitious launch vehicle aimed at taking humans back to the Moon and Earth&#8217;s neighboring planet Mars. 
The company has conducted six test flights of the vehicle thus far but without a payload. The last flight test took place earlier this week and NASA is looking forward to taking humans back to the surface of the Moon after a gap of over 50 years with the help of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42108681/spacex-shows-off-conceptual-version-of-starship-which-will-help-humans-land-back-on-moon-in-over-50-yrs">custom version of Starship</a>.

Texas Governor&nbsp;Greg Abbott (R-Texas) has directed state agencies to cease investments in China and divest existing ones. This decision, announced in a letter dated Nov. 21, highlights security and financial risks associated with Chinese investments, 
What Happened: Abbott&#8217;s directive argues that this aggression could elevate the financial risks tied to Chinese investments. The governor&#8217;s letter explicitly bans Texas investing entities from making new investments in China.
Moreover, Abbott has instructed these entities to divest from any current Chinese investments at the earliest feasible opportunity. 
&#8220;Texas will defend and safeguard itself and our public treasury from any potential threat, including those posed by the CCP,&#8221; the statement read.

Why It Matters: The directive from Governor Abbott comes amid escalating U.S.-China tensions. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives advanced two Republican bills aiming to reinstate the U.S. Justice Department's "China Initiative." This initiative seeks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40831428/house-gop-advances-bills-to-reinstate-justice-departments-china-initiative-despite-white-house-disap">curb espionage activities</a> targeting U.S. intellectual property and academic institutions. The bills were part of the House Republican's &#8220;China Week,&#8221; which saw over two dozen China-related legislative measures passed.
President-elect Donald Trump has proposed to impose 60% tariff on Chinese goods. Chinese President Xi Jinping recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42025284/xi-jinping-tells-joe-biden-china-is-ready-to-work-with-trump-as-tariff-threat-looms">expressed a willingness</a> to collaborate with the U.S. government, regardless of the administration in power. This statement was made during a meeting with President Joe Biden at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Lima. 
Meanwhile, ETFs that allow investment into China have dropped during the past one month. As of Nov. 22nd, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>) has dropped by 5.97% while iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) fell by 5.13%.
