SpaceX just had a mixed day. While its Super Heavy booster exploded into the Gulf of Mexico after a malfunction, the Starship spacecraft itself pulled off something big.
It made it to orbit and quickly deployed 26 Starlink satellites, which is a major win for SpaceX's plans, even with the fiery setback.
Starship advances Starlink and Artemis
Starship reached orbit in just 27 minutes, helping SpaceX push ahead with its goal to expand Internet coverage through Starlink.
NASA is also betting on Starship for its Artemis mission to land humans on the Moon by 2028.
Even though there are still technical hurdles like tricky fuel transfers in space, this test shows real progress toward bigger space adventures ahead.
