SpaceX conducted a successful static fire of the Starship SN8 prototype’s three rocket engines early this morning at the company’s Boca Chica complex.
The test was a necessary step toward a flight of the prototype to 50,000 feet, which could come before the end of this month or in early November.

The highest a Starship prototype has flown so far is 500 feet.
