SpaceX has achieved a successful test flight of its latest Starship rocket, marking a significant milestone in the development of the largest rocket system ever built. The launch, conducted from Texas, saw Starship travel halfway around the globe while releasing mock satellites, and tested several key features including heat-resistant tiles and a new reentry path for the upper stage. Unlike previous flights, the booster made a controlled descent into the Gulf of Mexico rather than returning to its launch site, while the Starship itself landed in the Indian Ocean. This test is a crucial step toward SpaceX's ambitious plans to send humans and resources to Mars, as well as supporting future lunar missions. The company continues to refine Starship's reusability and robustness, aiming for rapid turnaround and lower costs in future missions.
