HOLD HOLD HOLD. Recycling... Waiting for clock to be set again

It's not over yet. Holding for final checkouts

Holding at T-40 seconds. Some issues being worked. Countdown should continue shortly!

Starship has cleared the pad and beach! Vehicle is on a nominal flight path

From what we can see, Starship began the stage separation flip, but never separated and proceeded to tumble. Vehicle has been lost.

Clearing the tower was a huge success! Pad is safe for next test! SpaceX has a lot of data to go through ❤️

Update: Flight Termination System was engaged

Regardless of the outcome, this will bring us closer to the vision of Starship and we look forward to covering future launches soon!

Stand by for lots of video and photos of the launch!
