Starship has ended successfully, with the spacecraft
falling to Earth somewhere in the Indian ocean. .

separate from its booster, arrive in space, open its
payload door and then fly halfway around the Earth.
This means that the test successfully
accomplished all of the major tests
SpaceX had laid out prior to launch.
Starship is the largest and most
powerful rocket ever built, with
a towering height of 397 feet. .
CEO Elon Musk said prior to launch that the
company had made thousands of upgrades and
fixes to improve the chances of a successful test.

The highly anticipated missions will
mark the first crewed missions to the
moon since last century's Apollo program.
