They did it! Check out the video below! 10 km test with a landing!



It did end up exploding, but the mission was still a success!

Check out the explosion here!



I find it fascinating how slowly the rocket took off...yet how FAST it took off in the explosion! What force!

Awesome test flight! I still can't get over how large those fins are that are lower down on Starship; they're the size of a small house. SpaceX is looking to engineer some better landing legs for the rocket. Those stubby legs may have been one cause for the leaning tower of Starship that we saw. One step closer to Mars!

Wow, I had no idea that's how big the fins are! I'm looking for a good size comparison. I found this, but there has to be something better out there.

I wonder how the robotic fire suppression and Zeus are doing after the explosion?

Zeus is doing great! Here is a tweet with him checking out the awesome wreckage alongside some SpaceX workers:
