He shouldn't aim for the Indian Ocean. He should put it on the moon and say screw you all.

Wonder if this was the same solid fuel booster they had blow up on a test stand not too long ago?

Starship made it to orbit!  Things looking nominal at the moment.  The booster had a glitch during landing however.  Great test, great progress, all things considered.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Sounds like the payload bay door test was successful.  The mission is going really well at this point.

Looks like re-entry was not successful.  Raptor engines did their thing, but the ship re-entered in multiple pieces maybe. Oh, well.  Overall, it was a great flight with lots of data to apply to the next flight.

Shot from a mile away at half speed, ongoing shockwaves can be seen as the Starship IFT-3 continues to climb.   

Note the effects on the clouds
