SpaceX’s Super Heavy rocket was the star of the show during last week’s test flight after being successfully caught by the launch tower’s giant mechanical arms at the first attempt. Minutes earlier, the Super Heavy booster had deployed the upper-stage Starship spacecraft to orbit as part of the fifth test flight of the world’s most powerful rocket.

While Mechzilla garnered most of the attention of the fifth test flight, Starship's flip and splashdown were also impressive.

The fifth test flight of SpaceX's Starship spacecraft successfully ended Sunday with a controlled "subsonic belly flop" into the Indian Ocean.

A new video shows the upper stage of SpaceX's Starship coming down for a nocturnal splashdown during its fifth test flight.

Watch how SpaceX's fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket launches during a test flight but failed to separate and ended with Rapid Unplanned Disassembly (RUD) a few minutes into flight. Cre
