Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting fourth flight test of Starship!

It was a good day. #CFT

@torybruno My birthday is July 4! Could I get a bag too, please?

As if the flight test was not exciting enough, Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly before stage separation

[Relativity Space @relativityspace]

Today’s launch proved Relativity’s 3D-printed rocket technologies that will enable our next vehicle, Terran R. We successfully made it through Max-Q, the highest stress state on our printed structures. This is the biggest proof point for our novel additive manufacturing approach. Today is a huge win, with many historic firsts. We also progressed through Main Engine Cutoff and Stage Separation. We will assess flight data and provide public updates over the coming days. #GoodLuckHadFun

[Kaitlin Russell @AstronautKait]

While the anomaly is unfortunate, congratulations on reaching max Q and separation! It was a beautiful launch!

[Relativity Space @relativityspace]

Max Q! #GLHF

I attended the SpaceCom Expo today! It was so exciting getting to see all the booths and learn about what people are doing!

I got the ISS sticker by winning a round of Artemis trivia at the event, so that felt pretty neat!

Artemis is on its way to the moon! I am so glad to have experienced this historic moment with everyone! The atmosphere at the launch party was amazing, it was something I'll never forget! #wearegoing #Artemis @NASA_SLS @NASAArtemis

The Space Launch System has roared to life, launching the @NASA_Orion spacecraft on its journey for #Artemis I! Look out Moon, we are on the way!

[Kaitlin Russell @AstronautKait]

WE ARE GOING!!!

[Kaitlin Russell @AstronautKait]

Screaming!

All elements polled are 'go’ to proceed with the terminal count. Countdown clock is resuming at T-10 minutes. No constraints to launch.
