SpaceX's Starship spacecraft successfully splashed down in the Indian Ocean on Friday after a test flight that highlighted several design improvements. The flight, which took off at 5:30 PM local time, was marked by a few glitches, including a malfunctioning engine that affected orbital insertion. However, the mission was celebrated by SpaceX employees, with CEO Elon Musk calling it 'epic' and a 'goal for humanity.' The spacecraft, which stands at 407 feet (124 meters) when fully stacked, is crucial for NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon by the end of 2028. During the test, Starship deployed 22 mock satellites, including two designed to analyze the spacecraft's heat shield. While the Super Heavy booster did not complete its boost-back burn and fell uncontrolled into the Gulf of Mexico, SpaceX did not plan to recover it. The company is currently preparing for a record initial public offering, expected in June, as it continues to develop Starship for future lunar missions.
