**Official Genuine SpaceX Mission Patch**

For sale is the RARE Flight 4 Starship Test Flight Mission Patch. Item is new in original unopened packaging.

- On June 6th, 2024 SpaceX conducted the launch and the 4th Flight of the Starship Vehicle and Super Heavy Booster. Towering 40 stories tall, the Starship and Super Heavy Booster lifted off the earth surpassing double the thrust of the legendary Saturn V rocket. New goals and objectives had been established for this flight. The vehicle successfully conducted a hot staging separation for the 3rd time while ejecting the attached hot stage ring. This time the Booster returned back to the gulf and with all but one engine running, performed a perfect ‘virtual’ catch at the surface of the water. Meanwhile, Starship continued to fly in all her glory. After a few minutes, Starship had stopped just shy of orbit as planned. The big story was the re-entry into the atmosphere and whether the Heat tiles would protect the ship. With controlled maneuverability, the ship stayed in trajectory. The world was able to see the Heat tiles at work live via steaming from Starlink satellites as plasma built up around the surface of the ship with extraordinary temperatures. During re-entry, at least one wing flap nearly melted and was being torched by the extreme frictional heat. However, the ship remained strong and as planned was able to pull off the impossible with a perfect Flip and Burn which raised the ship vertically for a virtual soft landing. This was a landmark mission for SpaceX and Aerospace history.
