SpaceX's Starship rocket demonstrated partial success in its latest test flight on May 27, before ultimately spinning out of control. The 400-foot-tall spacecraft, launching from Texas, surpassed previous milestones by reaching space with a reused booster for the first time - a key step toward reusability. However, the mission encountered multiple setbacks about 30 minutes into the flight, according to a report by Reuters on the matter.
Elon Musk's SpaceX launched its massive Starship rocket system from Boca Chica, Texas, on Tuesday, in a test attended by President-elect Donald Trump. While the launch marked progress in spaceflight technology, the mission faced a setback when the rocket’s booster, Super Heavy, failed to land as planned.
