1:00Now PlayingSpaceX’s Starship rocket blasted off to space and plunged through Earth’s atmosphere for an ocean landing, notching a key objective on its fourth major test flight.
Appearing to shed pieces of debris as it hurtled through the atmosphere under the extreme heat, Starship finally landed in the Indian Ocean mostly intact on Thursday, a little more than an hour after it thundered off SpaceX’s launch pad on the southern tip of Texas.
The vehicle continued to broadcast a signal longer than it did on its third test flight in March. SpaceX also sent a command to Starship to reignite its engines just before splashing down in the ocean, a maneuver designed to slow it down and reorient it before impact. The engines appeared to reignite on the company’s livestream, but it’s unclear how smoothly that maneuver went.
