SpaceX just launched its Starship megarocket from Texas on November 13, 2026, aiming to circle Earth 14 times in about 22 hours.
The mission is a big step for reusable rockets (if all goes well, Starship will return right back to the launch pad at Starbase).
The rocket itself is massive, with a lower booster powered by 33 Raptor engines and an upper stage called Starship.
Super Heavy booster landed at sea
Even though the Super Heavy booster ended up landing in the sea instead of returning as planned, Starship is still cruising through its orbit.
More updates from SpaceX are on the way as they keep pushing rocket tech forward.
