Brian Wang The seventh fully integrated test flight of Starship with its Super Heavy booster launched. the Starship booster is a block 2 version with a lot of improvements. Go for booster return AND IT WAS CAUGHT. Telemetry has been lost to the Starship after the ascent burn. Upper stage was lost. If all goes well, Starship will re-enter in the Indian Ocean about 65 minutes after it lifts off from Starbase, TX, after performing a Raptor relight test and having deployed 10 Starlink mass simulators. SpaceX will be attempting to catch the Super Heavy booster with the launch tower again, hopefully catching it for the second time.
