Starship Integrated Flight Test 2

Starship's second integrated flight test flew the Booster 9 and Ship 25 stack from Starbase. All 33 Super Heavy engines completed the ascent burn, the vehicle achieved Starship's first successful hot-stage separation, and Ship 25 reached space at about 150 kilometres altitude and roughly 24,000 kilometres per hour. Booster 9 broke up after beginning its boostback burn, and Ship 25's flight termination system activated after telemetry was lost near the end of its burn.
