Watch SpaceX's Starship launch into space

SpaceX launched its 12th Starship on a test flight from Boca Chica, Texas, on Friday in a high-stakes trial run of major upgrades to its next-generation spacecraft as Elon Musk's rocket company nears a record-breaking public listing.

The Starship V3's goal is to enable more frequent Starlink satellite launches and to send future NASA missions to the moon.

The test flight aimed to reinforce SpaceX's case that Starship, the world's largest and most powerful rocket ever flown, is nearing commercial readiness after years of explosive setbacks and development delays.

The Starship, which SpaceX has spent more than $15 billion developing as a fully reusable spacecraft, is critical to Musk's goals of cutting launch costs, expanding his Starlink business, and pursuing ambitions ranging from deep-space exploration to orbital data centers – all factored into his targeted $1.75 trillion IPO valuation.
