This time, the Super Heavy launch vehicle did not plan to return to its designed landing zone on Earth, as it had in previous tests. According to SpaceX, the main purpose of this flight was to fly the Starship rocket around the Earth, with subsequent landing in the Indian Ocean about an hour and a half after launch.
It should be noted that the future candidate for the US presidency, Donald Trump, was present at the cosmodrome during the launch. His visit attracted additional attention, given the financial support that billionaire Elon Musk is providing to Trump as part of his election campaign.
