SpaceX's Starship megarocket successfully completed an uncrewed test flight, reaching orbit and returning to Earth. The 400-foot rocket, the most powerful ever developed, demonstrated full reusability and survived re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. This marks a crucial step towards NASA's Artemis III mission to the moon in 2026. The test flight achieved several milestones, including a controlled splashdown and successful recovery of both the Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy first-stage rocket. While the extent of the vehicle's survival is unclear, the test paves the way for future missions to the moon and Mars.
