In today's episode, we focus on SpaceX's second Starship test flight, a significant event for Elon Musk's company. This test flight, which took off from SpaceX’s Texas facility, achieved new milestones in the development of the Starship rocket. Despite the intentional destruction of the vehicle mid-flight, the test was deemed a success, marking important progress in the Starship program. The Starship vehicle, which lifted off around 8 a.m. ET, successfully separated from its booster before being intentionally destroyed by its onboard system after a flight of over seven minutes. This flight termination, a standard safety feature, was activated at an altitude of about 148 kilometers. Although the test ended prematurely, with SpaceX initially planning a near-orbital journey before re-entry and splashdown off Hawaii, the flight provided valuable data for future missions.
