From launch to fiery splashdown, SpaceX's Starship completes orbit test

SpaceX's Starship rocket completed an approximately three-hour orbital flight before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean, ending a planned 10-hour mission early. During the flight, 26 new Starlink V3 satellites were deployed to expand the global broadband internet network. SpaceX describes Starship as the world's most powerful launch vehicle, designed to carry crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond, with a capacity of up to 100 people for long-duration interplanetary missions.
