On December 9, 2020, Starship serial number 8 (SN8) completed a high-altitude flight test as it successfully ascended, transitioned propellant, and demonstrated a first-of-its-kind controlled aerodynamic descent and landing flip maneuver – which will enable landing where prepared surfaces or runways do not exist, including the Moon, Mars, and beyond. -yt

It is incredible. I'm not sure how well they'll manage an aerodynamic approach to a moon landing, but they've surprised me before! 🤯

That is some real life Flash Gordon/ Buck Rogers type shit.

Takeoff- Excellent
Power down- Excellent
Fuel Transfer- Excellent
Aerodynamic Flight- Excellent
Engine Refire- Excellent
Landing Rotation- Excellent
Landing- Could use improvement.

They mastered the self-destruct stage too.

That thing looks like an 8-year old was in charge of the design.
