SpaceX Starship's Sixth Flight Captured in Stunning Splashdown Video
SpaceX's sixth Starship test flight successfully completed a suborbital journey, culminating in a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean, captured by a buoy-mounted camera. The mission, launched from Texas, aimed to improve reentry and landing observations by scheduling the splashdown during daylight. While the Super Heavy booster was intended to be caught by the launch tower's "chopstick" arms, a communication issue led to its controlled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico instead. SpaceX's goal is to enhance the reusability of its megarocket for future lunar and Martian missions.
