Starship flew for a third time this morning. Launching from Texas, the initial phase of the test flight looked nominal. However, both the Ship and the Booster didn't reach their final destination.
Starship SN8 executed an almost perfect high-altitude flight test before plummeting towards the earth at a velocity greater than the intended threshold. SpaceX and Musk extolled the test as a success.
