SpaceX launches Starship v3 rocket | Hacker News

SpaceX’s Starship v3 test flight reached space and deployed dummy payloads after an earlier scrub.

The Super Heavy booster lost an engine and failed its boostback burn, while the ship also lost an engine after separation.

Starship skipped an in-space relight, then completed reentry and landed near the target area before tipping over and exploding.

Despite major propulsion problems, the flight marked progress toward full Starship operations and future orbital missions.
