While it didn’t happen in a lab or on a test stand, it was absolutely a test. What we did with this second flight will provide invaluable data to continue rapidly developing Starship.
The test achieved a number of major milestones, helping us improve Starship’s reliability as SpaceX seeks to make life multiplanetary. The team at Starbase is already working final preparations on the vehicles slated for use in Starship’s third flight test.
Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting second flight test of Starship!

We need these streams back on YouTube, I need to see this on a large display.

So great seeing all 33 Raptor engines staying lit during the entire Stage 1 ascent, excellent work!

With that music it is so cool to watch. It´s almost like a short cinematic movie, at the beginning where the ignition was there was silence and than the sound of the 33 Raptors fireing. Its just amazing! Great job.

I REALLY hope you start showing the Spacex launches on YouTube again, their are many many people who don't do social media and miss watching all the Falcon launches and updates. Great work to all at Spacex as always.

I’m 67, and I remember the space program from Mercury through Apollo. They used to wheel a TV into the classrooms so we could watch…you can’t imagine how thrilled I am to see this happening! SpaceX is just running away with the ball, so happy for everyone on the project 🙌

The length of the flame plume is completely insane. Starship fully stacked is like the same height as a 30 story building, but then the flame plume spits out to more than twice its height, the plume and starship combined probably are almost 100 stories tall
