While this test was much more successful than the last one, it shows it will be at least a couple years before starship is fully operational at this rate if development and who knows when they'll be able to get it crew rated.
So I'm already willing to bet artemis 3 gets delayed by at least a year while starship gets developed, which is a big shame.
Wait for a while then make a claim it was a success. Such a huge ship exploding in low earth orbit which is dense with satellites. We are yet to see what kind of damage that did.
It blew up about 3000 km/hr short of orbit, so thankfully all of it has burned up in Earth's atmosphere already :)
I don’t believe that’s true, some of the debris more than likely made it back to the ground over the ocean. There are weather radars that picked up the debris and they don’t scan super high up into the atmosphere.
You're right, that's my bad. I just meant to say the debris hasn't gone into orbit.
