Starship
SpaceX's Booster 18, the first of its third-generation Super Heavy boosters, suffered significant damage during early testing at a site near Starbase, Texas. The incident occurred early on Friday morning, halting the initial phases of cryogenic propellant loading and pressurization tests. This setback comes as the company aims to accelerate Starship development for key missions.

SpaceX completed its 11th full-scale Starship test flight on Monday, marking what may be the program's most successful mission to date. The spacecraft traveled halfway around the world from South Texas to the Indian Ocean with minimal damage upon reentry. This achievement follows a challenging year of failures and highlights improvements in the heat shield.
