Yesterday’s Starship launch was a big win for NASA’s Artemis Program:
SpaceX successfully relit a Raptor 3 engine in space, clearing Starship for orbital missions.
This allows SpaceX to conduct orbital propellant transfer tests to refuel Starship before heading to the Moon.
JUST IN - China’s Long March 10B rocket has successfully caught and recovered its first stage.
This marks the fourth orbital rocket to recover its booster, after Falcon 9, Starship, and New Glenn, and makes China the second country to do so.
