No there was one in between this one and that one. Yes they have a different rocket system that goes to the space station

SpaceX uses a different, smaller booster, the Falcon 9, and a capsule called Dragon for human flight, and those are unaffected by today's launch.

Fai Mao, Test 7 also had a successful catch of the Super Heavy booster, but the Starship broke up over the Bahamas. This time Test 8 also had a successful catch, but Starship made it further into the flight before failure, but not much further.

This one is under development. Not the one going to the ISS.
