That booster, “Booster 7,” was rolled to the launch pad overnight last Friday. > The successful test is a notable milestone for SpaceX, which has been working on its Starship program from its Boca Chica development facility in southeast Texas. It comes just a few weeks after a previous booster test resulted in an explosion at the launch pad – though the damage was clearly not catastrophic, as this same booster was tested today.
