SpaceX launched its Starship vehicle on the 13th integrated test flight from Starbase in southern Texas on Friday, deploying 20 next-generation Starlink satellites. The Super Heavy booster splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico after a harder-than-expected impact, while the upper stage completed re-entry and splashed down in the Indian Ocean. The flight followed an engine replacement after a prior abort and marked the second V3 Starship mission this year.
