Starship IFT-5 achieved booster catch at tower. IFT-6 reached orbit but broke up during reentry (tile loss). Raptor reliability at 98.3%. Next challenge: in-space refueling demo planned 2027. Starship is largest rocket ever built but still early in test campaign. Falcon 9 remains SpaceX workhorse. NASA HLS milestone payments tied to successful lunar demo. Engineering progress is real but TPS remains critical path.
