Keith’s note: the SpaceX Starship made an apparently flawless launch and return landing this morning – a landing that included being caught by two giant robotic arms at its launch pad – all while its upper stage – the Starship has been placed in its desired orbit. Update: I spoke with Deutsche Welle after the flight about the mission and its significance. [Audio]

    One anomaly. At about 5 minutes, something separated from the booster. It looks like the skirt around the engines fell off and something was on fire.

    Still, a great accomplishment!
