SpaceX's Starship rocket completed its 14th flight and first full orbital mission, launching from Texas with a dramatic liftoff, successful satellite deployments, and a fiery splashdown. The milestone marks a significant step for the vehicle, which is central to both SpaceX's commercial ambitions and NASA's plans to return humans to the Moon. The successful orbital test represents a major technical achievement after previous test flights, reinforcing Starship's role in future lunar and deep-space missions.
