This time, the Super Heavy launch vehicle did not plan to return to its designed landing zone on Earth, as was the case in previous tests. According to SpaceX, the main purpose of this flight was to fly the Starship rocket around the Earth, with a subsequent landing in the Indian Ocean about an hour and a half after launch.

It is worth noting that future US presidential candidate Donald Trump was present at the launch site during the launch. His visit attracted additional attention given the financial support that billionaire Elon Musk is providing Trump as part of his election campaign.
