Starship's test flight #4 took place this summer already on June 6, advancing toward the goals of safe, rapidly reusable human transport to the moon and beyond.
A new summary video of its fourth test flight is out. It includes SpaceX team's live reaction to the safe splashdown of Starship's booster (Super Heavy) and the independent flight of "Ship" itself (Starship spacecraft) powered by its own six Raptor engines.
Terminology reminder: "Starship, the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built, consists of two fully reusable elements — a huge first stage called Super Heavy and an upper-stage spacecraft known as Starship, or simply Ship."
Tomorrow: ready for test flight #5
