Maiden flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. The booster was supposed to separate 170 seconds into flight and return to land approximately 32 km off the shore in the Gulf of Mexico. The second stage would have followed a suborbital trajectory and performed an unpowered splashdown approximately 100 km off the northwest coast of Kauai (Hawaii). A launch failure was experienced before stage separation.
Limiting rule: No flight within 10 nmi of an attached thunderstorm anvil.
HRRR F+0: CAPE 2004 · upper-level wind 20 kt — anvil-producing environment, no live proximity (no satellite cloud-top at this pad)
