The American Corporation SpaceX conducted successful flight tests of the prototype of the second stage of the Starship launch vehicle. The launch took place at The Boca Chica test site in Texas and was broadcast on the NASA spaceflight YouTube channel.

During the tests, the prototype rose 150 meters, moved to the side and made a soft landing on a given part of the test site.

The starship is a promising super-heavy rocket consisting of two reusable stages. The second will serve as a cargo or passenger spacecraft.

SpaceX is developing a "Starship" to transport people and cargo to the moon and, in the future, to colonize Mars. According to the developers, the launch vehicle should put a payload of more than 100 tons into orbit.
