SpaceX Starship Launch

Starship atop Heavy Booster, ready for launch, Boca Chica, Texas

It was going to be launched Monday, but didn't. Launched today and got way up there, but then the second stage wouldn't separate and the whole thing ended up going blooey.

Aft view of Heavy Booster on it's way up.

Still, the heavy booster got off the ground carrying a good size payload. Not bad for a first attempt. And it wasn't even using all of it's engines, as you can see in the above image. I count 27. I think the total is supposed to be 33.
