SpaceX's Starship rocket is now in Earth orbit after taking off from Texas. This is the final stage in the development process of this launch system intended for future missions to the Moon and Mars.

This test flight may last several hours; Because the starship capsule plans to orbit the Earth several times while releasing dozens of "Starlink" satellites.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman congratulated SpaceX on the successful launch of the starship into Earth orbit.

Until now, all starship flights had been suborbital; This means that the capsules have risen to a height that is considered space, but the speed or duration of their flight was not enough to complete a complete revolution around the Earth.

This launch comes three years after the first test flight of this research rocket belonging to Elon Musk's company.
