• SpaceX launched the 10th test flight of its Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket booster tonight. Both achieved successful splashdowns on opposite sides of the world during the roughly hour-long test.

• The test flight marked a signficant and encouraging stride forward for SpaceX’s Starship program, which had experienced a string of explosive missteps dating back to January.

• Tonight’s success could queue up SpaceX to conduct another boundary-pushing flight next month, aimed at improving the vehicle’s performance before SpaceX upgrades to a larger version of Starship next year.
