There's been another successful launch from Elon Musk's private spaceflight company, which continues to push the limits. Space-X blasted off from their South Texas Starbase in Boca Chica and then splashed down in the Indian Ocean.
Spokesman Dan Huot said on the company's broadcast that a booster rocket successfully splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico. That's a new milestone for its development. It's been just over two months since the last SpaceX test. The turnarounds get shorter and shorter as the team continues their mission of landing a human on the moon.
Musk posted on X, "Despite loss of many tiles and a damaged flap, Starship made it all the way to a soft landing in the ocean! Congratulations @SpaceX team on an epic achievement!!"
