The fifth test flight, last month, made a historical catch of the booster with the 슬롯사이트œchopstick arms슬롯사이트�. However, during the sixth flight, the catch was called off just four minutes into the test flight for unspecified reasons. It was directed to a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.

It also carried the first-ever Starship payload -- a plush banana onboard Ship, which served as a zero-gravity indicator. Igniting Raptor engines in space shows that the Starship can perform the necessary manoeuvres needed to return to Earth safely during orbital missions. Flight 6 also tested modifications to Starship's heat shield, which protects the vehicle during reentry to Earth's atmosphere, and 슬롯사이트œintentionally flew at a higher angle of attack in the final phase of descent, purposefully stressing the limits of flap control to gain data on future landing profiles", SpaceX said.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Elon Musk Hints at Tower Catch After Successful Starship Flight 6 Ocean Landing.
