SpaceX's Starship test flight ends with uncontrolled re-entry
After two explosive failures earlier this year, SpaceX made progress Tuesday with its latest Starship test flight ? even as the mission failed to complete a satellite deployment demonstration. The 403-foot rocket, the largest and most powerful ever built, lifted off from Starbase in South Texas. The company hoped the upper stage would travel halfway around the world before splashing down in the Indian Ocean. That goal was partially met, but a door designed to release eight mock Starlink satellites failed to open properly, preventing their deployment.
