🚀 Starship V2 takes its victory lap
On Oct 13, SpaceX launched the final Starship of the current generation — 123 meters tall, one last ride before V3 (124.4 m) and the monster V4 in 2027, standing 142 m with 42 Raptors. Elon’s literally building a rocket meme come true. 💪
Flight went flawlessly: Super Heavy splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico after 6.5 minutes, the Ship followed 66 minutes later in the Indian Ocean. It even dropped 8 Starlink simulators and reignited in orbit.
Oh — and it reused the same booster from Flight 8. New engine mix, new landing style. Next-gen vibes incoming.
Pad One’s off for upgrades. Curtain down — next act: V3. 🌌
