SpaceX's mega rocket Starship makes a test flight from Starbase, Texas.

Starship — the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built — thundered into the evening sky from the southern tip of Texas. The booster peeled away and made a controlled entry into the Gulf of Mexico as planned, with the spacecraft skimming space before descending into the Indian Ocean. Nothing was recovered.

"Hey, welcome back to Earth, Starship," SpaceX’s Dan Huot announced as employees cheered. “What a day.”
