What do they plan to use these for translation of material?

The ultimate goal of Starship is to launch up to 100 people at a time into space, per flight.

Today's test flight has no passengers and will fly up to 10 kilometers then land back on the launch pad.

Yeah man, hope it doesn't get scrubbed.

Should be clear today. They launch from Texas correct? There and Florida look pretty clear on radar now.

In the video above, check out 9:23 for the takeoff and 9:28 for the landing. Pretty amazing they can pull off that landing.

I love rockets and science, but those announcers sound pretty dorky.
