SpaceX Starship Test Flight 3 Review | What is Starship, Why it's important, & WHY IFT3 was a success Today In Space
-
- Astronomy
In episode 339, we are talking all about Starship's 3rd Test Flight after a VERY exciting launch on March 14th, 2024 a.k.a. Pi Day. The massive Starship made lightspeed progress from the last two tests but the question is: Was IFT3 a success? Did SpaceX have a successful test flight?
Don't worry - if you are new to Starship and need a quick review we got you covered! This is a great episode for anyone who was too busy to watch the flight live on Pi Day, or you want to dive a little bit deeper into what SpaceX is doing with this game-changer of a space launch system. We have our reaction to the test flight at the end of the episode (but who are we kidding, the whole episode is me reacting to this AWESOME day in space!)
Let us know what YOU think in the comments, DM us on social media, or email us at todayinspacepodcast@gmail.com! We'd love to keep the conversation going and want to hear from you.
