SpaceX's Starship rocket launched from Texas on 26 Aug 2025 at 7 pm EDT. It deployed eight mock Starlink satellites in space for the first time. The rocket tested new heat shield tiles during its reentry over the Indian Ocean. The Starship landed vertically on the ocean but later exploded as planned. This was the tenth test flight and showed progress after earlier failures. NASA plans to use Starship to send astronauts to the Moon by 2027. The rocket is designed to be fully reusable and may help future Mars missions. SpaceX aims to launch more Starlink satellites using Starship. The test marks a key step in SpaceX's space goals.
