SpaceX's latest launch was a big success, and is a big step forward despite the setback it faced. SpaceX went through with the third launch of their Starship rocket yesterday, making it farther than ever before with the rocket. Earlier launches resulted in the rockets exploding just minutes after liftoff, but this Starship made it all the way out of the atmosphere before unfortunately suffering an issue upon re-entry, causing the rocket to disintegrate. This is still a huge step forward, they say, and a big win for SpaceX. They have stated that they plan to go through with six more test flights this year, and hopefully, at least one can make it back to Earth in one piece for a successful ocean splashdown. SpaceX hopes to be sending astronauts to the moon in the coming years using Starship, which is the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built.
