[i]On Nov. 19, 2024, SpaceX launched the sixth integrated flight test of the Starship-Super Heavy stack. The milestones of this mission were another tower catch and atmospheric reentry stress-test on the Starship spacecraft. The tower landing was aborted, but the booster and Starship landed at sea in controlled burns. The Starship used previous generation tiles and had more exposed skin areas to test their exposure to heat. This patch depicts a stress gauge that is pegged out to max and shows a stylized representation of the Starship heat shields after the test with missing and broken tiles, which were expected for this flight. Patch will ship at the beginning of January 2025.[/i]
