SpaceX's Starship, the most powerful launch vehicle ever built, launched and achieved key objectives laid out for its fourth test flight that demonstrated the vehicle's reusability. The launch took place at the private Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, at 7:50 a.m. (12:50 GMT). The vehicle soared through multiple milestones during Thursday's test flight, including the survival of the Starship capsule upon reentry during peak heating in Earth's atmosphere and splashdown of both the capsule and booster.
