Sunday's test firing comes after Musk gave us a glimpse of the Starship's first test vehicle in January, which will be used for suborbital take-off tests from SpaceX's facility in Texas as soon as February.
The Starship, formerly known as the BFR, is slated to replace SpaceX's existing family of vehicles. It will be used for a moon mission carrying Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa and a group of artists, which aims to takeoff in 2023.
