While there are still capabilities to be proven, Flight 9 should be seen as a cautiously optimistic win for the Starship program: - 8th straight reliable ascent burn for Super Heavy, the largest and most powerful rocket booster ever - Super Heavy booster reuse proven with 33/33 Raptor engines — something never accomplished by a rocket of this size, or by any other organization in the history of spaceflight - Ship ascent burn through SECO after two consecutive failures of a new version Work remains, but the future is bright. More robust and reliable designs are on the way. This process is iterative by design, and SpaceX will keep marching forward.
