Starship has cleared the pad and beach! Vehicle is on a nominal flight path
Source: @SpaceX

From what we can see, Starship began the stage separation flip, but never separated and proceeded to tumble. Vehicle has been lost.

Clearing the tower was a huge success! Pad is safe for next test! SpaceX has a lot of data to go through ❤️

Update: Flight Termination System was engaged

Regardless of the outcome, this will bring us closer to the vision of Starship and we look forward to covering future launches soon!

Stand by for lots of video and photos of the launch!

Keep in mind B7 S24 are already hundreds of improvements behind the more recent vehicles and now there will be hundreds more for the next ones

Welp, “Excitement Guaranteed”
