SpaceX's recent launch of the Starship rocket faced difficulties as it lost contact only minutes into its flight. Launched from Texas, the 403-foot rocket was intended to test controlled entry methods but spun out of control, preventing the release of mock satellites. Despite some technical achievements, such as the successful booster landing, the spacecraft's mission remains uncertain, especially with NASA counting on Starship for future lunar landings. The ambitious goal to use Starship for Mars exploration continues, despite these setbacks and previous failures during test flights.
