SpaceX Starship SN8 Successfully Completes High-Altitude Flight
It's starting to feel as though we will have humans on Mars in a few years.

Looked like a good flight until it crashed. I'll have to look at the nasaspaceflight.com forum and see what the space geeks are saying about this.

I'm about 1/3 into this novel, which was written in 1959.

Scott Manley explains what happened. I thought the engine shutdowns at T+1:41, 3:15 and 4:40 were failures, but they were intentional. Good "belly flop" then translating to vertical again and relight of engines. Almost nailed the landing when the engines crapped out followed by RUD--Rapid Unplanned Disassembly.
Better luck with SN9.
