Wonder what SpaceX’s Starship flight 6 launch looked like from the space? Sen Corporation’s cameras on the International Space Station (ISS) managed to capture all of the action, or at least the rocket’s plume during its launch from Starbase in Bosa Chica, Texas.

The forward flaps also got a redesign. They have shrunk in size, and they also shifted in location. And both of these things will help better protect them during entry heating while still providing control. There’s also a wide range of upgrades that will make the vehicle more reliable, adding redundancy and the ability to operate for longer durations in space,” said Kate Tice, Senior Quality Engineering Manager at SpaceX.
