Second test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. The booster is expected to separate 170 seconds into flight and return to land approximately 32 km off the shore in the Gulf of Mexico. The second stage will follow a suborbital trajectory and perform an unpowered splashdown approximately 100 km off the northwest coast of Kauai (Hawaii).

Updated failure reason.
Added launch time to the seconds.
Starship successfully performed stage separation, while the Booster and Ship were lost after separation and seconds before shutdown respectively.
Liftoff
Countdown has resumed
First development version of the Starship reusable two-stage super heavy-lift launch vehicle.
See DetailsBooster 9 was expected to splash down in the Gulf of Mexico following the second integrated test flight of Starship, but was lost after stage separation.
Result: Booster 9 did not land successfully.Ship 25 (S25) used for the second integrated flight test. Lost before engine cutoff.
Starship V1 DetailsSpace Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
