SpaceX CEO Elon Musk published on his blog several images taken with the camera of the Starship spacecraft during its recent launch . They show views of the planet from orbit during a test flight.
The photos show various stages of the Starship test mission, which was considered partially successful. Although the launch itself was successful, the spacecraft failed to return to Earth.
The businessman accompanied his publication with the simple captions “It’s amazing that this picture is real” and “Ship in space.”
The company plans to deliver astronauts to the Moon and Mars after a series of additional Starship tests. In particular, the spacecraft will have to master refueling in space and the procedure for returning to Earth.
