SPACEX ABANDONS ITS CAMPAIGN TO RECLAIM THE FIRST FLOOR OF STARSHIP
Elon Musk's SpaceX had to abandon the recovery of the first stage of its Starship mega-rocket following a technical problem during its fifteenth test flight in Texas. The Super Heavy booster ultimately ended its trajectory in the Gulf of Mexico. The upper stage, however, reached Earth orbit and deployed 26 Starlink satellites. SpaceX now hopes to achieve a historic first by recovering this second stage upon its return to Earth.
