link This test flight only had one minor anomaly— a single rocket of the 33 on the launch booster stage failed to fire— a matter of little consequence.
The booster was able to return and splash down as intended.
But so was the Starship, and that's the biggest part of the test flight. In short, it all worked. No RUD, just a solid flight. Suborbital at this point, but future tests will certainly go for orbit. Do watch the video embedded in the article. We live in the future! |

Living in the future is something I used to read a lot about but is now terrifying. |

It was pretty amazing to watch, especially the reentry of the Starship. |
