i.e., Successful demonstration of excessive g-forces exerted upon launch vehicle due to failure of programmed separation resulting in loss of both the reusable launch stage and Starship itself.
Yup. 'Passed handily'.
SpaceX's propaganda department holds enormous sway over both its cheering/smiling employees and obsequious cheerleaders. /s
You are just trolling with you super negative attitude and display you have no idea what is actually going on.
I don’t consider it ‘propaganda’ to view this test in light of SpaceX developments and achievements.
the first successful controlled landing of a first stage occurred on 22 December 2015, on the first flight of the Full Thrust version. Since then, Falcon 9 first-stage boosters have been landed and recovered 186 times out of 197 attempts
…
The active version, Falcon 9 Block 5, has flown 162 missions, all full successes.
In 2022 Falcon 9 set a new record of 60 launches (all successful) by the same launch vehicle type in a calendar year. The previous record was held by Soyuz-U, which had 47 launches (45 successful) in 1979.
You failed to mention one little fact: SpaceX didn’t plan on recovering EITHER stage. Super Heavy (the booster) was going to hard crash into the Gulf of Mexico, and Starship was going to coast 2/3 of the way around the world and hard crash into the Pacific off of Hawaii.
Eventually, they’ll make it.
