Stunning Images of SpaceX's Starship Engine Test

SpaceX conducted a static fire test of its Booster 9 Starship Super Heavy prototype, with all 33 Raptor engines engaged for about six seconds. The test was livestreamed, and SpaceX shared two beauty shots of the event. This was the second ignition for Booster 9, with improved performance compared to the first test. The tests are part of the launch preparation for Booster 9 and Ship 25, which will conduct the second-ever test flight of a fully stacked Starship vehicle. The goals of the upcoming flight will be similar to the first, but no target date has been announced yet.
