š„ The hot end of the starship missile in the ocean
Starship, SpaceX's rocket, crossed Earth's orbit for the first time on its 14th test flight and deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites at an altitude of about 269 kilometers from Earth.
This mission continued despite the unexpected shutdown of one of the spacecraft's engines mid-flight, and the spacecraft landed in the Pacific Ocean after re-entering the atmosphere, but immediately after hitting the water it was destroyed in a massive fire explosion.
In the next steps, SpaceX plans to test the landing and return of the rocket on the ground in Texas.
This success is considered an important step for SpaceX's plans to send humans to the moon and eventually to Mars; However, the explosion during landing showed that this system is still far from operational and reusable flights.
