Your understanding of orbit is flawed. The only thing they haven't been doing is going into a circular orbit.
@scrapperdudeGA8 күн бұрын
@imaginary_friend7300 every Starship launched so far has been suborbital. Therefore, I am correct. Besides, the word orbital doesn't belong in this context anymore. It's a leftover artifact from earlier testing. There aren't any orbital launch pads at the Kennedy Space center. They're all just launch pads.
