The Ship was never recovered. The insurance company denies coverage. More at 11.

Um what? Was this the launch that was going to bring back the ISS crew? Is there a news link?

Hey all, no need to downvote for an honest question.

No, this was a prototype vehicle test. It had no purpose other than to gather data and prove the vehicle is flight worthy. Which, uh, it isn’t.

No. Dragon 9, in February.

@solrize@lemmy.world Direct from Spacex, this was the Starship launch and was not going to the ISS
