Narrator

The Ship was never recovered. The insurance company denies coverage. More at 11.

Um what? Was this the launch that was going to bring back the ISS crew? Is there a news link?

Hey all, no need to downvote for an honest question.

No, this was a prototype vehicle test. It had no purpose other than to gather data and prove the vehicle is flight worthy. Which, uh, it isn’t.

No. Dragon 9, in February.

@solrize@lemmy.world Direct from Spacex, this was the Starship launch and was not going to the ISS
