Starship Reaches Orbit in Major SpaceX Milestone

Former SpaceX Starship software manager and Revel CEO Scott Morton calls the rocket’s first trip to orbit a “monumental step forward,” despite an engine failure during ascent. Morton, who spent nearly a decade at SpaceX before founding Revel, explains the software and automation behind Starship, why engineers will spend months analyzing data from the flight, and how the program’s ultimate ambition of building a rapidly reusable vehicle capable of taking humans to Mars was part of the vision from its earliest days. He joins Ed Ludlow on "Bloomberg Tech." (Source: Bloomberg)
