SpaceX Starship 11th Test Flight

SpaceX successfully conducted the 11th test flight of its Starship rocket from southern Texas. The Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, completed a flight lasting just over an hour, making it halfway around the world and releasing eight mock satellites mimicking SpaceX — Starlink. The booster made a controlled entry into the Gulf of Mexico, while the spacecraft skimmed space before descending into the Indian Ocean. This test flight included more maneuvering and a series of tests during the spacecraft's entry, practicing for future landings. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, intends to use Starship for sending people to Mars, and United States — NASA relies on it to land astronauts on the Moon by the decade's end. SpaceX is also modifying its Cape Canaveral launch sites to accommodate Starships.
