Great to see the continous progress on the Starship project. This was only a small hop but an important test as a step to the real flight tests, which might be only days or a few weeks away, if no problem sends them back to the drawing board for an important component. The most critical part right now would be the real-life performance and behavior of the new raptor engines.

Best Youtube video of it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=lg71lUolnqc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=lg71lUolnqc</a><p>The footage from a lot of sites is pretty bad because of the fog obscuring it. It&#x27;s in the middle of the night too =&#x2F;

Observation: Although the Starhopper is a purposefully-unspaceworthy tech demonstrator, it still does resemble a comic book alien rocket from the 1950s.
