SpaceX completed a successful test flight of its massive Starship spacecraft on the fourth attempt following a trio of previous flights that ended in fiery destruction.

SpaceX's mega Starship rocket has completed its first full test flight, returning to earth successfully and splashing down in the Indian Ocean

SpaceX has shared incredible slow-motion footage showing the world's most powerful rocket at the start of its fourth test flight.

SpaceXs Starship rocket survived a fiery, hypersonic return from space and achieved a breakthrough landing demonstration in the Indian Ocean.

SpaceX engineers and fans watched live as the blistering heat of reentry nearly ate through the Starship spacecraft before it splashed down as planned in the Indian Ocean, completing a successful test flight.

SpaceX's massive Starship rocket achieved its first ever splashdown during a test flight Thursday, in a major milestone for the prototype system that may one day send humans to Mars.

The megarocket broke new ground, with the Super Heavy booster landing in the Gulf of Mexico and the upper stage surviving reentry, but just barely.

Even though hot plasma almost destroyed Starship's flap, the rocket nailed yesterday's vertical landing. Elon Musk says SpaceX already has a solution, and it just wasn't present on this ship.

SpaceX is targeting 8 a.m. ET on Thursday, June 6 for the launch, with reentry and reusability being key goals for the fourth demonstration.
