SpaceX made history Sunday on its latest test flight of Starship managing to both successfully catch the massive rocket’s Super Heavy booster back at the launch site, and return Starship to Earth for a controlled ocean landing, although one that ended with an explosion. The rocket lifted off from SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas at 8:25 a.m.
