Starship completed its first full orbital flight and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean.
A historic first for SpaceX as Starship splashes down in the Pacific after successfully reaching Earth's orbit for the first time. • • The spacecraft overcame an engine loss during ascent, reached orbit roughly 26 minutes after liftoff, and deployed 26 Starlink satellites before returning to Earth. • • SpaceX cut the mission shorter than its planned 10-hour flight, bringing Starship down after about three hours in orbit. • • Download the FOX News app to follow this developing story:
Starship successfully landed after first orbital flight The spacecraft landed in the Pacific Ocean near the Hawaiian Islands. The mission was cut short after engineers checked the onboard systems - instead of the planned 10 hours, Starship spent a little more than three hours in flight. At the same time, SpaceX considers this test flight - the 14th in a row - to be "extremely successful": despite the failure of one of the engines, Starship successfully entered Earth's orbit for the first time and launched all 26 Starlink satellites.

This is the 14th test flight for this SpaceX rocket system. The modification that launched today has the highest altitude of all previous Starship — more than 100 m. Starship should play a key role in NASA's Artemis program, aimed at returning people to the Moon, and potentially in a future flight to Mars. Add News.LIVE as a reliable news source on Google]
*SPACEX: STARSHIP SPLASHES DOWN IN OCEAN AFTER KEY FLIGHT
Footage of the Starlink satellite launch from Starship, the largest rocket in history, which successfully entered Earth orbit for the first time. The 14th test flight took off from the SpaceX Starbase cosmodrome in Texas. The ship had previously ascended to space, but all launches were suborbital, never achieving a stable orbit. After liftoff, Starship separated from the Super Heavy booster, which splashed down successfully in the Gulf of Mexico. Initially, Starship's upper stage was planned to spend about ten hours in orbit and complete six orbits of the Earth. However, after one of its six engines failed, SpaceX shortened the flight to three hours. Subscribe, this is BAZA:

How did this market resolve?
This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Starship upper stage for the 14th Starship-SuperHeavy test flight achieves a controlled splashdown in the ocean. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
If SpaceX attempts to catch the Starship upper stage using the Orbital Launch Tower’s chopsticks instead of attempting an ocean splashdown, this market will resolve to “No.”
This market pertains to the 14th Starship launch. If the rocket lifts off the pad, it will be considered the 14th Starship launch, and this market will resolve based on it. If the rocket does not lift off the pad, it will not be considered the 14th launch, and this market will stay open until the 14th launch has occurred. If the 14th launch has not occurred by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”.
A splashdown will be considered controlled if the Starship upper stage successfully re-enters Earth's atmosphere, remains intact during descent, and enters the water without breaking apart or exploding upon impact.
The resolution source for this market will be official video provided by SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds and/or written reports if necessary.
