The final test hop of their Starhopper craft flew to about 500 feet today, successfully. It was a test of the new Raptor engine. Enjoy!

What's amazing is how few gross attitude adjustments it has to make, the puffs you can see.

Wasn't Werner von Braun reputed to have said "give me enough propulsion, and I can fly beer cans"? Them old fellers were pretty smart.

My thoughts exactly. Reminds me of the cheesiest sci-fi movies ever made! Not criticism, just an observation.

We embarked on our journey to the stars with a question first framed in the childhood of our species and in each generation asked anew with undiminished wonder: What are the stars? Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.
