Rockets roar. Photographer Andrew McCarthy captured the moment that a SpaceX Starship roared into space from its launchpad in Texas.
Photographing the fiery plumes of the 33 Raptor engines that power the Starship Super Heavy booster proved a technical feat but also required luck. “We can study wind patterns, look at past launches, but ultimately, each one will behave slightly differently due to the chaos of the event,” McCarthy says.
On 19 October, SpaceX launched its 10,000th Starlink Internet satellite into low Earth orbit. Each day, one or two SpaceX satellites fall back to Earth.
