Today, SpaceX just completed the 150m altitude hop of it's Starhopper! The Starhopper is a prototype of the Starship that SpaceX plans on sending to the moon and Mars.
The Starhopper is driven by a Raptor rocket engine, the most advanced rocket engine ever designed. It is uses liquid methane and
liquid oxygen for fuel. Check out the pretty blue shock diamonds in the exhaust.
This is the end of the road for the Starhopper. It's being retired and replaced by the Starship mk1 and Starship mk2 each being built in Boca Chica Tx and Florida.
Next up on the agenda are suborbital flights of the two Starships in early 2020.

Here are two of my favorite NASA streamers. The first is Eric Johnson's twitch stream. The other is the Youtube feed for the NASASpaceFlight (independent of NASA).
