Starship & the planet Venus pose for a photo before the rocket’s first integrated flight test (IFT) from Starbase, Texas.

After years of construction & ground testing, the time was right for SpaceX to fly its new super-heavy lift launch vehicle for the first time. The full stack consisted of Ship 24 & Super Heavy Booster 7, making up what was then the tallest rocket ever assembled.

Starship IFT-1 lifted off on April 20, 2023, becoming the most powerful rocket to ever fly. However, not all was well, as fires in the aft section of Booster 7 led to severed connections with the rocket’s primary computer. This eventually led to a loss of control and the destruction of the vehicle via the flight termination system.

The anomalous flight, along with unanticipated severe damage to Starship’s launch pad, led SpaceX to stand down from Starship testing for several months.
