Mission
Orbital Flight Test
Type: Test Flight
Maiden flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. The booster will separate 170 seconds into flight and return to land approximately 32 km off the shore in the Gulf of Mexico. The second stage will achieve orbit until performing a powered, targeted splashdown approximately 100 km off the northwest coast of Kauai (Hawaii).

Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
Good luck in making history here folks.!
Fix your little Problems and Light this candle,Spacex.
Splashing down in Hawaii is not an orbital flight.
the boostre, not the upper stage splashes down in hawaii
The booster’s planned trajectory may be subject to change from the Gulf to an RTLS unlike any other we have ever seen. The tower catch arm system is to what I refer to.
