SpaceX captures part of the Starship rocket for the first time after flying around the Earth.
Over the course of 22.5 hours, the Starship spacecraft completed 14 orbits around the Earth and deployed 26 satellites into orbit, before returning to the launch site.
The super heavy booster could not be recovered; It was diverted to the Gulf of Mexico and destroyed.
SpaceX intends to use the reusable spacecraft for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
