Apr 20, 2023 #starbase #superheavy #starshipSpaceX finally launched the full-stack Starship vehicle from Boca Chica, Texas. The flight ended before stage separation due to the vehicle spinning out of control. The flight termination system was activated, causing the launch to end in an explosion.
Nov 18, 2023 BOCA CHICASpaceX launched Starship on its 2nd integrated flight test. Starship made it through most of its objectives before the automated flight termination system (AFTS) was activated near second engine cutoff. Starship made it into space for the first time but did not reenter in one piece. The AFTS was also activated on the booster shortly after stage separation.🎥 Video from Jack (@theJackBeyer), John Galloway (@kspaceacademy), and Starbase Live.✂️ Edited by Sawyer Rosenstein (@thenasaman).

Jun 6, 2024 #spacex #starship #ift4SpaceX successfully met all Starship test objectives during Starship Flight 4. Launch, stage separation, Booster soft landing, and Ship reentry all were performed providing huge amounts of data for future Starship flights. On reentry, Starship's heat shield appeared to degrade quicker than expected, leading to a burn through on at least one area of the vehicle, but the Ship still performed the flip and burn maneuver to softly land in the ocean.🎥 Video from Starbase Live and SpaceX.✂️ Edited by Sawyer Rosenstein (@thenasaman).
