What this is

This is a practice flight. SpaceX is flying a Starship from SpaceX Starbase, TX, USA to learn whether the rocket behaves. The cargo matters, and so does the simple question: did it work?

SpaceX is flying a Starship from Orbital Launch Pad 1, SpaceX Starbase, TX, USA. Mission: Flight 8. Eighth test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. Planned orbit: Suborbital. Status: Launch Failure. Either the launch vehicle did not reach orbit, or the payload(s) failed to separate.

Story written from the public listing. A model key can be added later; none is required.

From here

Too far to see

You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 1,039 miles southeast. The broadcast is the view.

That is too far for the flame and, for almost every launch, too far for the high-altitude plume. Dim the lights and watch together anyway.

Public places

Viewing spots

Places run by a park or a visitor center near this site. A listing is not a promise you can see the rocket from there.

Every company we can name, in plain words, plus a careers page when we have a real one.

Careers links are public pages we know. If we do not have one, we do not invent it.

Only what the listing says

Questions stay with this launch. If a model key is configured on the server, the answer is cached. Without a key, the reply is taken straight from the record.

So the slip still finds you

A single launch can be saved now. The subscribe feed, on the launches page, is the one that moves when a rocket slips. Calendar alarms do not know about bedtime quiet hours.
