Following a host of upgrades both to the booster and especially the upper stage, this afternoon SpaceX launched Starship for the eighth time and again it was eventful. This time around we saw the third booster catch followed not long after by the loss of the upper stage.
Similar to the last flight, this occurred near the end of Starship's upper stage burn. This time, however, we got live views of some of the Raptors cutting out, causing the ship to go into an uncontrolled spin.
