STARSHIP FIFTH ORBITAL TEST

INCREDIBLE, BREATHTAKING,EXTRAORDINARY…


Starship ´s fifth test flight: Science fiction without the fiction !

Excitement was guaranteed, success possible : both were on the cards!!

On October 13, 2024, Starship successfully liftoff from Starbase, Texas.
After ascent , stage separation, boost back burn, and coast, the Super Heavy booster performed its landing burn and was caught by the arms of the launch tower.
Starship coasted along its planned trajectory to the other side of the planet before executing a controlled reentry, passing through the phases of peak heating and maximum aerodynamic pressure, before executing a flip, landing burn, and splashdown at its target area in the Indian Ocean.

The test was a great success.
The SpaceX teams have done a remarkable job.
Once again SpaceX has shown us that engineers are real wizards, much to our delight!

I still find it hard to believe that what I’ve seen is true, and yet it is!!!

TODAY IT’S A BIG STEP TOWARDS MAKING LIFE MULTIPLANETARY !!!

Thank you SpaceX and Elon Musk for bringing history to life 🚀
