SpaceX SN11 test

SN10 Launched and Landed 3 March 2021

 SpaceX Starship prototype SN10 launched and landed successfully on the evening of 3 March 2021 Wednesday, from the Boca Chica, Texas.  It went on to explode 8 minutes after landing on the ground. Still, it was a great success and a step closer to getting to orbit in the full configuration. The landing was beautifully controlled this 3rd time. Explosion probably due to fuel tank or engine system not fully shut down. Waiting to see the start of testing of the gigantic first stage. 

SN10 launch date

 SpaceX is currently preparing to launch SN10 after 2 rounds of static engine tests!!
