Check out the Most AMAZING Recent SpaceX Achievements! From the latest spacex hopper and falcon 9 to elon musk sending a tesla on a rocket in space, this top 10 list of incredible space missions done by spacex will amaze you! 

This afternoon and after a bunch of delays and a failed attempt at the launch yesterday due to an issue with the igniters SpaceX Starhopper Launches and took to the skies with its second and final untethered flight for this test vessel. The target flight for this was 150 meters in altitude which was revised down from 200 meters before today's flight. The reason for this seems to be due to regulatory approvals being more difficult above the 150 meter mark but that is possibly a little bit of speculation at this point. The starhopper itself is roughly 20 meters in height so we were expecting the view of the Starhopper hovering up around seven to eight times its own height before slowly coming back to gently touch down. From these shots it does certainly look like the target altitude there was reached successfully. The 150 Meter Flight Test is Successful! Here is my take on this amazing achievement. Congratulations SpaceX!

Everything you need to know about SpaceX's Starship ,SuperHeavy and StarHopper so far. In 2002,

Elon Musk founded SpaceX with one single visionary goal in mind.

In this episode of SpaceX in the News, we cover news on the upcoming Crew Dragon (DEM-1) mission; we recap the recent Falcon 9 launch; go over booster re-usability, read into the new military contracts awarded to SPACEX; find out what is going on in Boca Chica, TX with StarHopper; investigate new developments with the Raptor engine; discuss what happened to the first-ever SPACEX LEGO proposal;; reveal the strategy Elon Musk may be putting in motion concerning Starship development; and celebrate Virgin Galactic's recent achievement.

Here's a clip from episode 162 of the podcast where we did a launch hangout for SpaceX's Starhopper test to 150m. This was recorded on the first attempt, on August 26th, 2019 which was scrubbed 24 hours.

There was some solid space talk in there about what starhopper is and why SpaceX would want to build a water tower with rockets on it?

I've seen these questions pop up a lot, and heard a few other science communicators talk about this and I wanted to put a clip out on this for anyone searching for it as well.

In this breaking episode of #SpaceX in the News, we cover #Elon Musk's #Starhopper 150m flight - a huge step toward colonizing #Mars. 

What an amazing few days it has been. SpaceX Starhopper Lift Off with a 20 Meter Flight Test Successful! We also saw an interesting attempt at the same mission yesterday which has some nice footage included in this video. On top of all this we also had the incredible CRS-18 mission to the Space station which has launched beautifully with the booster of course making its way back to the landing site to touch down. There are of course a large number of fans out there super eager to cheer SpaceX on and celebrate all they’ve achieved over the last year or so but there is a heck of a lot of people trying to discredit projects such as Starhopper and the Starship prototypes. None of these people of course seem to comprehend how amazing all this is. The fact that SpaceX release all this test footage is just something that people are very unused to seeing. The general public just don’t seem to appreciate that failure and rapid prototypes are a great thing. Lets explore this topic in more detail shall we.

In this 40th episode of SpaceX in the News, we investigate the changes made to Starship Super Heavy's design, and Elon Musk's upcoming presentation; talk Starhopper's latest test success and future outlook; debrief the latest CRS-18 launch; and see what's going on with Crew Dragon.
