The second-ever test of SpaceX's fully integrated Starship launch vehicle ended with the company being forced to trigger the launch vehicle's self-destruct function.
The much-anticipated launch was scheduled to take place yesterday, November 17, but had to be delayed by a day to swap out one of the Super Heavy first-stage booster's grid fins.
The company's Starship launch vehicle took off from SpaceX's Starbase site in South Texas at 08:03 ET (13:03 GMT) after a scheduled hold at t-minus 40 seconds.
Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting second integrated flight test of Starship!

Cheers rang out among the staff gathered at the SpaceX center in Texas as the launch vehicle achieved stage separation in flight with all of its six engines firing.

However, the Super Heavy booster, having played its part in detaching and propelling the upper stage skywards, met with a RUD (Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly), in the company's terms. That's an explosion for the rest of us. The booster was planned to perform a flip maneuver, descent, and land in the Gulf of Mexico following Hot Staging.

More grief was to follow when the SpaceX team lost data from the second stage of this flight.
“We have lost the data from the second stage ... what we do believe right now is that the Automated Flight Termination System on the second stage appears to have triggered very late in the burn,” John Insprucker, SpaceX principal integration engineer, said during the company’s live webcast.
While it may not have been the total success the company hoped for, the launch might be considered successful with this test flight getting much further than the previous attempt, which took place on April 20. The first-ever launch ended in a dramatic explosion when the Starship started to spiral and turn on itself instead of the upper stage separating from the Super Heavy first stage, roughly three minutes after liftoff.
The Starship is set to feature heavily in Elon Musk's plans of setting up a human colony on Mars, as well as NASA's Artemis missions that will see humans landing on the lunar surface for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972.
NASA had recently expressed concerns over the Starship's development, hinting that delays could push back the launch date for Artemis III to 2025. Starship is required to successfully undergo both uncrewed and crewed missions before ferrying humans to the moon.
Further details of today's flight are not released yet and we may have to wait until Elon Musk releases an update on the social media platform previously known as Twitter, like he has done in the past.
The team will now look to learn and fix from the data gathered.
