NASA has ordered two Starships to land astronauts on the moon later this decade, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s ultimate goal is Mars.

A high-stakes test of SpaceX’s Starship rocket delivered a win for Elon Musk’s rocket company Tuesday as the system’s giant rocket booster and spacecraft returned to Earth intact. The uncrewed, experimental rocket took off around 6:30 p.

The Starship rocket flew through space and splashed down in the ocean, after a series of setbacks during previous missions.

SpaceX on Tuesday night launched the 10th test flight of its giant Super Heavy-Starship rocket, a milestone mission to demonstrate fixes and upgrades in the wake of three catastrophic failures earlier this year.

Elon Musk's Starship rocket's crucial 10th test flight finally launched on Tuesday after the last two attempts were scrubbed due to technical issues and bad weather.

A little over an hour after its launch from Starbase, Texas, the second stage of the Starship spacecraft gently landed upright in the Indian Ocean.
