SpaceX Nails Starship SN15 Launch And Landing

After two other scrubbed launches the third was a charm. At 05:24 PM local time SpaceX Boca Chica, Texas successfully launched and landed their Starship SN15. After unfavorable weather conditions and minor hardware and software glitches the time finally came. SN15 roared to life with three raptors and soared through the low cloud ceiling which obscured most of the test activity. Luckily there was enough visibility to capture both the launch and the landing. During the ascent which was not visible you can see the tracking station doing its job as it follows the vehicle up to apogee and then back to the landing pad.
