This will be the 12th flight overall for Starship, the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built. But it will be the first for Starship V3, which SpaceX says boasts many improvements over its predecessors…

Bigger, badder, better… But still a suborbital flight. Hopefully this test goes well and Muskfinger can eventually start doing crewed orbital and then deep space flights with this puppy.
