The Starhopper begins moving sideways during its first untethered flight as seen by a drone.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

*** Starhopper makes first successful hop within a fiery storm of flame, smoke, and steam<\/strong>. Late Thursday evening, SpaceX’s Starhopper<\/a>, a Raptor<\/a> methane engine powered prototype Starship<\/a>, lifted off the ground untethered for the first time and moved sideways a short distance on the flat pad. The high swirl of smoke and steam hid most of the vehicle during its brief flight. Elon Musk this morning, however, released a video showing a view of the engine from an onboard camera during the hop. Plus he provided a video from a drone where one can see much more of the vehicle during the flight than from the ground videos.<\/p>\n
