Chapter 307: The Second Shot of Chang 10_1

```

In the 12,000-meter-high skies of Texas, the Starship SN5 prototype reached its peak altitude, attempting a point ignition vertical landing.

However, unlike the successful fifth flight of the CZ-6A, the luck of SN5 did not seem so good, the nozzles of its three "Raptor" first-generation engines swiveled so extensively that it was worrisome.

The computer tried its best to bring SN5 over the landing site, but its rate of descent was excessively high, utterly unbearable for the several hundred ton SN5.

In Musk's raised eyebrows, the built-in landing gear of SN5 broke upon contact, the strength of the stainless steel body couldn't withstand the impact, and it rapidly collapsed and deformed, the remaining fuel leaking out and turning into a fireball of billowing black smoke that enveloped the wreckage of SN5.

Ma patted Tom Muller on the shoulder, encouragingly saying,
