TL;DR Summary

NASA has released footage of SpaceX's second test flight of the Starship rocket, which ended in an explosion. Despite the explosion, important milestones were achieved, such as flawless execution of the first-stage booster's burn and successful stage separation. The video, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, includes views from cameras aboard WB-57 jets. NASA's interest in the test flight is due to Starship being selected as the first crewed lunar lander for its Artemis program. SpaceX plans a third test flight pending FAA approval, as the agency is still investigating the explosion during the second flight.
