The seventh test flight of SpaceX’s Starship ended with a successful landing of the rocket’s first stage but also the loss of the Starship vehicle

SpaceX delayed its seventh test launch of Starship by 24 hours on Wednesday due to weather concerns, pushing back an experiment that will feature the spacecraft’s first payload deployment test in what may be the latest milestone for the Elon Musk-owned aerospace company as it develops reusable rockets.

After Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin nailed its first-ever orbital flight, Elon Musk's SpaceX is seizing back the spotlight on Thursday with the latest launch of Starship, the gargantuan next-generation rocket that could one day ferry humans to Mars.
