$Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ.US)$ As of November 19, 2024, SpaceX successfully conducted the sixth Starship flight test. The launch took place at the Boca Chica spaceport in Texas at 4:00 p.m. Central Time (6:00 a.m. on November 20 in Beijing). Following the launch, the Super Heavy booster successfully placed the Starship into the intended orbit. However, the planned attempt to capture the booster with the "Mechazilla" robotic arm was canceled for undisclosed reasons after four minutes of flight, causing the booster to splash down in the Gulf of Mexico. The Starship completed a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean after a low Earth orbit flight.
The main objectives of this test include verifying the Starship's engine ignition capability in orbit and the performance of the heat shield system. Despite the unsuccessful booster capture attempt, the overall test is still considered a significant step towards a fully reusable rocket system. SpaceX aims to reduce the cost of future space missions through these tests and lay the groundwork for future missions to the Moon and Mars.

$Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ.US)$ The launch of SpaceX's Starship on November 19, 2024, is considered successful, despite some minor objectives not being completed:
Points of success
1. Orbital flight test:
The Super Heavy booster successfully placed the Starship into low Earth orbit.
The starship splashed down in the designated area of the Indian Ocean after completing the scheduled orbital flight.
2. Testing objectives achieved:
Verified the ignition capability of the starship's engines.
Tested the performance of the heat shield system, which performed well.
3. Breakthrough in history:
This launch is the sixth flight test of the spacecraft, and it is also the most stable performance of technology so far.
---
Not reached the goal
Booster recovery failed:
SpaceX planned to catch the booster with the 'Mechazilla' machinery arm, but failed to do so, and the booster ultimately fell into the Gulf of Mexico.
Although the booster recovery was unsuccessful, this launch is still considered a major advancement because its main test objectives (orbit flight and heat shield verification) have been achieved, laying a solid foundation for a fully reusable Starship system.

STW伟 Christina AG : This is a problem of shortsightedness. They only see the failures in front of them, without seeing the success in the future.
