SpaceX launches first Starship orbital flight test
Original: SpaceX launches Starship's 1st orbital flight test
SpaceX launched the maiden orbital test flight of its Starship rocket from its Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas. The integrated Super Heavy booster and Starship lifted off on a planned sub-orbital trajectory, though the vehicle was lost minutes into the flight after the rocket failed to complete its full ascent. The test was closely watched as a milestone in the development of the most powerful rocket ever built.
Why now: The launch marked the first test flight of SpaceX's largest and most anticipated rocket, drawing massive public attention.
