SpaceX kicks off 11th Starship rocket test launch

Milan, Oct. 14 (LaPresse/AP) – SpaceX launched another of its gigantic Starship rockets for a test flight. This is the eleventh test flight for a full-scale Starship, which SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk plans to use to send people to Mars. Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, streaked across the evening sky from the southern tip of Texas. Instead of staying inside Launch Control as usual, Musk said he would go outside to watch for the first time. “It’s much more visceral,” was his comment. The rocket booster separated and performed a controlled fall into the Gulf of Mexico as planned, while the spacecraft flew through space before descending into the Indian Ocean.
