Starship launch - IFT-3
Starship made it to orbit. In orbit right now, performing some test tasks like opening payload door.. They will also transfer propellant to header tank. Eventually, it's scheduled to re-enter the atmosphere in the Indian ocean.
Follow the coverage at http://www.spacex.com Spectacular launch and great shots from the rocket. |

Screw that. What I want to know is whether SpaceX is diverse and inclusive!

Safety.. Those are test flight and a this was planned as a crash landing. Rocked was self destructing upon re-entry as the engines failed to re-light. Still, the rocket made like 90% of the planned trip.. I'd consider that a huge success considering that this is still an experimental gigantic rocket.
