STARSHIP Test Flight: SUCCESS or FAILURE? When will we witness the NEXT one?

#starship #spacex #elonmusk
“Success maybe, excitement guaranteed!” Elon Musk was exactly right with his prediction of yesterday’s first test flight of a fully integrated Starship vehicle. Almost two years, SpaceX-enthusiasts had been waiting for the big day to come and we weren’t let down by Elon’s crew at Starbase Texas.

But was the test flight really a success or a complete failure? To cut the long story short: The test flight was a success! Although that the flight was already over after 4 minutes, SpaceX gathered a huge amount of valuable data which will help them to assess what worked, what went wrong and how to improve for the upcoming test flights. Remember, data gathering during prototyping is key!
