TEXAS, USA - 09 December 2020 - The SpaceX Starship serial number 8 (SN8) lifted off from our Cameron County launch pad and successfully ascended, transitioned propellant, and performed its landing flip maneuver with precise flap control to reach its landing point. Low pressure in the fuel header tank during the landing burn led to high touchdown velocity resulting in a hard (and exciting!) landing, causing the spacecraft to explode - Photo: Geopix/SpaceX
