BOCA CHICA BEACH – SpaceX had a successful second attempt at the final test of the starhopper starship prototype at Boca Chica Beach.

They starhopper hopped up around 500 feet and landed successfully on a nearby landing pad Tuesday.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk sent out a tweet congratulating the SpaceX team at the Boca Chica site.

On Monday, the test was aborted less than a second before launch due to a wiring issue with the Raptor engine.

The starhopper prototype will now be retired; it'll be use to test the Raptor engine in the future on the site.
