    I think Mr Musks comments are funny "Musk said in a tweet immediately following the accident that the rocket’s “fuel header tank pressure was low” during descent, which caused “touchdown velocity to be high.”
    The billionaire founder of Tesla added that SpaceX had obtained all the data it needed from the test. “Mars, here we come!!” he tweeted.

    "

    Sorry Musky I am not on my way to Mars in your failed baby

    Tesla was not founded by Elon Musk - he came bit later and was involved in setting the following companies that now exist as Tesla Inc.

    Tesla Motors was founded by Martin Ebergard and Mac Tarpenning.

    Scot Manley has a good explanation of todays successful test..
    and To correct my post, they didnt lose any engines going up, they turned two off because, well, they just didnt need the thrust...

    gotta love the phrase "an Engine rich environment"

    The test showed what it was intended to. It showed that the Starship worked and was controllable while carrying out manoeuvres that were a combination of aerodynamics and thrust from engines that not only were variable thrust but also steerable (you can see this in the video). It also showed that the Starship could return to the launch pad and land, with the only hitch being that the thrust needed to brake to a stop was not developed. But the reason for this is known - fuel starvation when extra thrust was required, and the reason for this was also recorded.

    This was the eighth prototype built, number nine is almost complete, and this spectacular exercise is about par for SpaceX's method of progress that involves "go fast and break things while learning", which has seen them produce the first reusable boosters, the effective replacement for the shuttle, and the cheapest launches ever. Something to be said for their methods, which are beating the traditional space companies hands down.

    Virgin Galactic flight today?

    One more test flight. Not quiet as ambitious as Mars more just flying high- Very High

    oR not as tweet "We are seeing weather forecasts in the region that aren’t optimal for flight. We are monitoring the forecast and will fly when weather conditions are suitable for flight. We will update when we have more information."

    eat your heart out Musky and Branson- Aussie Space crafft with a big twist

    This could be in hydrogen in Alternate Energy but its space so forgive me..

    Queensland-based aerospace company is set to receive nearly $1m of Australian Government funding to fast track development of its reusable hydrogen-powered hypersonic scramjet, capable of placing small satellites into Low Earth Orbit (LEO).Hypersonix Launch Systems has been working closely with BOC South Pacific, a leading provider of hydrogen solutions in the region, on its technology.


    “Our Spartan scramjet will power an unmanned, fully composite vehicle called ‘Delta-Velos’, pushing it to hypersonic speeds of up to Mach 12 before it releases its payload in LEO,” he said.
    “What makes Delta-Velos so different from other launch vehicles is that it’s designed to be low cost, reliable and reusable with zero net carbon emissions through the use of locally produced green hydrogen for fuel.”“We’re confident we will be able to achieve a rapid turn-around potentially as short as one week for launching small satellites into LEO.”
