Integrated Flight Test

Type: Test Flight

Maiden flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. The booster was supposed to separate 170 seconds into flight and return to land approximately 32 km off the shore in the Gulf of Mexico. The second stage would have followed a suborbital trajectory and performed an unpowered splashdown approximately 100 km off the northwest coast of Kauai (Hawaii). A launch failure was experienced before stage separation.

True, It was indeed spectacular! The beautiful flume from those 33 Raptor engines is SO different from the Diesel Merlin engine crafts. Can’t wait to see you list the next scheduled launch of this futuristic rocket setup. So exciting to live while history is being made.
