Accomplishing a full-duration #SuperHeavy burn without any engine failures is a significant step forward for the #Starship program. Engine #reliability was one of the top concerns identified by #NASA's #LunarLander program manager.
The transition to #HotStaging on Starship will increase the rocket's #payload capacity.
#Starship soared above the #KármánLine, the 100-kilometer-high internationally recognized boundary of #space , and kept climbing, eventually peaking at an altitude of 149 kilometers.
The deluge system worked as it should. There were no chunks of large debris around the #LaunchPad after Saturday's liftoff. https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/spacex-can-celebrate-three-big-wins-after-second-starship-test-flight/2/
