SpaceX successfully hopped their StarShip prototype vehicle known as StarHopper today with serial number 6 Raptor Engine. The vehicle successfully flew to about 20 meters (60 feet) up and translated over a bit to the side as well.
This is a very important milestone for the StarShip / StarHopper prototype, even though it may not have looked like much!
Sorry for the change in exposure, I tried switching from auto exposure down to a fixed shutter speed at the apex and then switched back.
