"SpaceX launches Starship SN6 prototype test flight on heels of Starlink mission"Quote:
The SpaceX Starship SN6 prototype's first hop (500 feet, 150 meters) took place on Sept. 3, 2020 at the private spaceflight company's Boca Chica, Texas facility. Cameras aboard a drone and the rocket captured footage of the flight.

SpaceX Starship update - SN 7.1 goes pop / SN 8 gets it's wings!
Sep 23, 2020

Just a quick update of whats happened in the last few days with SpaceX Starship.
Well at 4.58am local time , SN 7.1 test tank finally gave into the pressure and blew its lid. This was the intended result as SpaceX pushed the tank to see how much it could withstand.
Also, SN8 has wings!! Yesterday we saw SN 8 getting fitted with its flaps as it prepares for its static fire tests before it is launched 20km !!

Starship | SN8 | High-altitude flight test
Dec 9, 2020
Quote:
As early as Wednesday, December 9, the SpaceX team will attempt a high-altitude suborbital flight test of Starship serial number 8 (SN8) from our site in Cameron County, Texas. The schedule is dynamic and likely to change, as is the case with all development testing. This live feed will start a few minutes prior to liftoff.
This suborbital flight is designed to test a number of objectives, from how the vehicle’s three Raptor engines perform, and the overall aerodynamic entry capabilities of the vehicle, including its body flaps, to how the vehicle manages propellant transition. SN8 will also attempt to perform a landing flip maneuver, which would be a first for a vehicle of this size.
With a test such as this, success is not measured by completion of specific objectives but rather how much we can learn as a whole, which will inform and improve the probability of success in the future as SpaceX rapidly advances development of Starship.

Fireball engulfs SpaceX's Starship SN8 rocket
Dec 9, 2020
Quote:
SpaceX’s Starship SN8 rocket has exploded during touchdown after a six-and-a-half-minute test flight. The flight was the highest yet for the rocket ship Elon Musk hopes will ferry humans to Mars, with the prototype shooting for an altitude of eight miles. The fiery landing occurred when low fuel tank pressure caused the ship to descend too quickly in the final stages

SpaceX has been moved its latest Starship prototype to the launch pad for its first test fligh
Friday morning the stand holding up SN9 up gave out and the rocket fell over on the launch pad
The stand holding it up game out and is not clear if SN9 was damaged during the event
The fall comes just three days after SpaceX launched its SN8 prototype that reached some 41,00ft
Due to engine issues, it exploded once it touched down on the launch pad and was completely destroyed
CEO Elon Musk deemed it a success because it still reached its goal and collected a trove of data

Starship | SN8 | High-altitude flight recap

On December 9, 2020, Starship serial number 8 (SN8) completed a high-altitude flight test as it successfully ascended, transitioned propellant, and demonstrated a first-of-its-kind controlled aerodynamic descent and landing flip maneuver – which will enable landing where prepared surfaces or runways do not exist, including the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Inside Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship
Jan 20, 2021
Quote:
Elon Musk has big plans for the future. SpaceX’s Starship will transport humans to Mars in the future. The powerful rocket is still being tested, but the future of space travel will be here in the blink of an eye. So, what will Starship look like on the inside? Test ships are barebones, but we know what the crewed version of Starship will look like. Inside of Starship, you will find a cargo hold, mess hall, executive suites, standard seating, a control deck, and a recreation area. The control deck is where the pilots and scientists will work, but this level is different from other spaceships. It will be able to transform into a viewing gallery that will offer guests an amazing view of the stars. Starship will also feature an amazing multi-purpose recreation area where guests can watch concerts and other events. First-class cabins will be available to anyone who can afford them; they will likely cost more than $1 million. The mess hall is where you can get your grub on. SpaceX colonies on Mars will feature insect farms and cellular agriculture, so meals on Starship will consist of bugs and algae to prepare you for your new life on Mars. You have to be ready for new types of food as Mars’ soil is not suitable for agriculture. Regular seats on Starship will cost about $200,000, and each launch will cost about $2 million. Here’s a detailed look at what the crewed version of SpaceX’s Starship looks like on the inside. Keep watching to see more. Are you excited about your trip to Mars?
