SN10's launch and landing test followed those of prototypes SN8 and SN9 in recent months, which ended in fiery explosions after failing to land softly or fully upright. Starship plus its booster, dubbed Super Heavy, will have a gross weight of roughly wait for it 6,613,867 pounds. After several minutes, the SN10 exploded, a billowing, fiery blast sending the metal carcass back into the air for a few seconds. August 2020 SN5 launches 150 meters (500 feet).
