- A forward-flap of the Starship has a burn-through
- Starship upper stage to perform a flip maneuver
- SpaceX has also added new heat-shield materials where the tiles have been removed to test its endurance against extreme heat
- Ship is half-way through peak heat re-entry
- Removing TPS heat shield tiles also sheds weight from the Starship upper stage spacecraft
- SpaceX intentionally removed 2,100 heat-shield tiles to test it for extreme heat without tiles
- Starship is entring peak heating stage
- Flight 6 Starship 2nd stage is re-entering Earth’s atmosphere
- SpaceX successfully relights a single Raptor engine in space for the first time (watch below)
- Starship upper stage single Raptor engine relight in space confirmed
- Booster 13 made a vertical landing on the ocean and performed a perfect landing burn
- SpaceX intends to catch the booster as well as the upper stage Starship early next year
- Both Flight 6 booster and ship will provide a ton of data for future flights and landing tests
- SpaceX had mentioned previously that the catch will only happen if everything looks perfect and it gets the final go from humans on ground
- SpaceX decided not to catch the booster today for safety of the SpaceX teams, the public, Starbase pads and Starfactory on ground. Most importantly, president-elect Donald Trump is present at Starbase to watch the launch live.

- SpaceX is going to attempt the recovery of the Flight 6 booster
- Starship upper stage (Ship 31) on its nominal trajectory
- SpaceX did not use the flight termination system (FTS) on the Flight 6 booster, it mostly looks intact after landing on the ocean
- Booster makes a vertical splashdown landing in the Gulf of Mexico (Coast of Texas)
- Flight 6 Super Heavy booster to land in the Gulf of Mexico (offshore landing of the booster)
- SpaceX is not catching the Flight 6 Booster 13 today
- No go for launch tower catch today
- Hot-stage ring has been jettisoned
- Successful stage separation
- 20 secs away from hot-staging
- Liftoff!
