More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.

The first Starship to return to its launch site, Ship 40's journey took it across air, space, and sea. Now that it is vertical alongside three other Starships in a Megabay at Starbase, it will provide first-of-its-kind data on a flown Starship heatshield, Raptor engines, avionics, and more.

Here are some of the behind the scenes for the F.02 Decommission
To be clear: we actually trained our robots to jump autonomously, shipped them to Finland, and had them leap into a vat of molten steel

🇺🇸 Ocean City got the full Tesla treatment last night
A huge crowd of Tesla owners lined up their cars and synced them into one giant light show, lighting up the night in perfect rhythm.
Say what you want about @Tesla … this goes hard.

Flight 14 from the helicopter 🚁
Starship Flight 14 lifted off from Starbase this morning and is now in orbit around Earth - the first time a Starship has ever done that!
Huge thanks to spihelicopters.com for the ride, and for this unreal view of a historic flight.

"The nights are dark and full of wonder." Isn't that how the quote goes? Here are 4 nights cycles from Dragon's port window, stitched together by @bot, no changes to underlying photos, taken by Nikon Z9, 15s exposure, ISO 800, 14mm lens (1.4 aperture). You can see satellites dancing in the center, likely Starlink.

Southern Hemisphere Milky Way galaxy view from the @Space_Station cupola. This 3s exposure series captured two of my favorite cupola views, the particularly dense Milky Way galaxy as seen from the Southern Hemisphere, and the bright, colorful lights of squid fishing boats (here, the bright blue and green lights off the coast of China, Thailand and India). Look at what the light did now!

A fully and rapidly reusable rocket will fundamentally change how humanity accesses outer space. “The Holy Grail of Rocketry” continues the ongoing Starship series with a look back at the scrappy days of SpaceX engineers proving reuse was possible and takes you onboard a high-seas race to recover a floating Starship
