Rafe is joined by Big Brain Smart Head™ and America's Favorite Rocket Scientist™ Bob Luzenski to discuss the November 18 launch of SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy.
Bob walks us through the launch and short flight of both the booster Super Heavy (the first stage) and the spacecraft Starship (the second stage) during their less-than-ten-minutes flight.
Along the way, we learn about operational vs test flights, how to think about measuring success and failure, hot staging, and how a very precise flight trajectory allows SpaceX to launch from Texas and not Florida.
