It's a Starship launch of sorts, that much can be said. But it's not really what SpaceX fans had been hoping for on Monday.
On the same day that SpaceX failed to launch the first orbital test flight of its Starship vehicle, the company has managed to launch something similar but altogether smaller: the Starship Torch.
Related Videos “The man in black, Johnny Cash knew a thing or two about burning desire,” the blurb for the torch reads. “But love isn’t the only thing that burns. Sometimes you just want to caramelize the sugar on a crème brûlée or melt some cheese without all the subtext. Enter the Starship Torch.” When you’re not firing up the Starship’s adjustable flame, you can activate its safety lock and proudly display the 1:200 scale model of SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft in your home.
SpaceX also wants you to know that the item, which can be ordered now for summer shipping, is “100% not a toy.”
