My favorite photo from this morning's launch. Captured using techniques I've never used before, it exceeded my expectations in every way. I feel this photo perfectly illustrates the beauty and power of Starship.

Thirty. Three. Raptors.

Super stoked to have captured Booster 9 and her Raptor engines in their glory this morning - the was the first time all 33 were successfully ignited with continuous burn through first stage flight.

Looks like the front fell off...

The front of Ship 25 has been spotted from the coast Florida after the events witnessed during IFT-2.

It's possible this was the debris big enough to be visible when burning up near Puerto Rico.

Some speculate the mostly empty tanks might have allowed the front to separate at a welding line and escape the FTS during the much smaller explosion.

The FAA might not be happy about this but we can't say anything for sure.

Watch the three center engines on Starship’s upper stage gimbaling just after separation. Right before they ignite for hot-staging, the engines angle themselves outward to direct their exhaust towards the vented interstage before re-centering for ascent.

Just inspected the Starship launch pad and it is in great condition!

No refurbishment needed to the water-cooled steel plate for next launch.

Congrats to SpaceX team & contractors for engineering & building such a robust system so rapidly!
