the hot staging separation rings at 00:46 is stuff of movies

I was wrong, it wasn't a commercial flight, just another test

SpaceX is going to launch Starship on Friday, the tallest rocket ever built, this will be the first non-test commercial launch with a payload , Starship is 400 foot tall or about the height of a 40 stories tall building

The speed with which these tests/developments are occurring is incredible.
