SpaceX has successfully completed the 11th test flight of its massive Starship rocket, which launched from the southern tip of Texas and ended with a splashdown in the Indian Ocean.
During the hour-long flight, the Starship repeated a key test, deploying eight mock Starlink satellites, which was met with cheers from mission control.
This test flight is the final one for this Starship rocket before SpaceX debuts a new scaled-up prototype for the next mission, aiming to iron out issues for future missions, including NASA's plan to land Artemis astronauts on the moon.
