SpaceX Launches (and lands) Starship Flight 4

SpaceX 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. ⚡ Become a member of NASASpaceflight’s channel for exclusive discord access, fast turnaround clips, and other exclusive benefits.
