SpaceX has completed Starship’s most controlled landing yet. After re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, the spacecraft flipped upright, ignited its engines and performed a soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean, remaining intact and continuing to transmit footage from the water. The milestone came during Starship’s 13th flight test, which also deployed 20 next-generation Starlink satellites and demonstrated improvements to the spacecraft’s heat shield. SpaceX is still working towards catching and rapidly reusing both stages, but bringing Starship through re-entry and into the ocean in one piece is a major step towards making the world’s largest rocket fully reusable. @spacex #spacex #space #elonmusk #technology #artificialintelligence
