Apparently the thrust of the first stage was not strong enough and the spacecraft was unable to separate from it. This is still an unmanned test flight and it seems that now the manned experiments will move away * This is the prototype

This is according to an analysis by PITCHBOOK. According to the analysts, before flying humans into space, advanced uses of satellites should be exhausted and the problem of space debris should be addressed, but the budget for this may be reached thanks to these gimmicks.
