Cost cutting in effect at SpaceX: Falcon Heavy used a Tesla Roadster as their test payload, Starship only has a banana.

No shots of the banana yet post launch. Did it rip away from the strings?

(Up until I typed this I hadn’t considered they might use an artificial banana.)

With 5.2 million people watching. This flight probably broke the world record for most people watching a single specific banana, ever.
