SpaceX Starship test success
SpaceX has successfully launched its redesigned Starship V3 in a high-stakes test flight from Texas, achieving a controlled ocean splashdown.
The mission successfully deployed mock satellites and tested critical upgrades intended for future NASA lunar missions, despite the booster breaking apart over the Gulf of Mexico.
Early investors believe the Starship's capabilities are key to the company's sky-high valuation and its entry into frontier markets.
The successful flight marks a major milestone in the race to send humans back to the moon and eventually to Mars.
