$Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ.US)$ The SpaceX Starship launch on November 19, 2024, is considered a success, despite some minor goals not being completed:
Points of Success
1. Orbital flight test:
The Super Heavy successfully pushed the Starship into low Earth orbit.
After completing the planned orbital flight, the Starship landed in the designated area of the Indian Ocean.
2. Test objectives achieved:
Verified the ignition capability of the Starship's engines.
Tested the performance of the heat shield system, showing good results.
3. Historic breakthrough:

This launch was the sixth flight test of the Starship, and the most stable technical performance to date.
---
Unachievable goal.
1. Booster recovery failed:
SpaceX planned to catch the booster with the 'Mechazilla' mechanical arm, but failed to do so, and the booster eventually fell into the Gulf of Mexico.
Although the booster recovery was unsuccessful, this launch is still considered a major advancement because its primary test objectives (orbital flight and heat shield verification) have been achieved, laying a solid foundation for a fully reusable starship system.
