SpaceX Starship orbits Earth for first time

SpaceX's Starship — the largest and most powerful rocket in history — orbited Earth for the first time during its 14th test flight. Launch occurred at 7:48 local time from Starbase in Texas. The mission succeeded despite concerns that a single engine failure after launch would prevent the orbit, marking a milestone toward future missions to the Moon and Mars.
