SpaceX Next Starships Very Close Behind Epic Test Flight | ESA Ariane 6 Rocket Runs Into More Delay SpaceX is now preparing its Starship SN8 model for the first high altitude flight test. It will be a big leap for SpaceX’s starship program as SN8 will attempt to reach an altitude of 15 km (about 50,000 feet), thus there is no guarantee of success. These first time tests have fifty-fifty chances as it may or may not be successful. The flight test of SN8 could end up destroying the prototype. SpaceX is planning to counter that risk with its upcoming starship prototypes. “A RUD (rapid unscheduled disassembly, AKA an explosion) right off Launchpad is also possible. Fortunately, SN9 is almost ready,” Musk stated on Saturday. #SpaceXStarship #SpaceXPriority #EngineeringToday THIS VIDEO IS DEDICATED TO NASASPACEFLIGHT HUGE THANK TO THE NASASPACEFLIGHT TEAM Please support NSF, BocaChicaGal (Mary) from the links below.
