SpaceX launches its massive Starship rocket into orbit for the first time
SpaceX launched its Starship rocket into orbit for the first time on Monday from its Starbase, Texas facility, with the vehicle reaching orbit around 8:15 a.m. local time on its 14th test flight. The booster made a soft splashdown off the coast while the ship deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites. SpaceX, now valued near $2 trillion after June's record IPO, operates roughly 11,000 active satellites versus about 650 for Eutelsat OneWeb.
