Elon Musk highlighted four objectives for Starship Flight 6, notably including the restart of Raptor engines in vacuum and testing higher peak heating during reentry.
During the flight's broadcast, SpaceX pointed out that the banana onboard served as a zero gravity indicator and helped them navigate the FAA's approval process for future payloads.
Despite not capturing the booster, SpaceX successfully executed an offshore divert procedure, emphasizing their commitment to safety as a top priority.
With Starship's latest test flight, SpaceX aims to familiarize itself with the regulatory landscape ahead of future launches, while also testing thousands of design changes.
