SpaceX's Starship successfully completed its fourth test flight on June 6, 2024, after receiving approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The launch took place from Texas, and the rocket achieved a significant milestone by performing a controlled water landing in the Indian Ocean. This test flight marked the first time Starship returned to Earth without exploding, demonstrating the vehicle's reusability and advancing SpaceX's goal of interplanetary exploration. The launch was live-streamed on X, attracting around 1 million viewers. The successful splashdown of the Super Heavy booster and the upper stage is a key step towards SpaceX's vision of making space travel more sustainable and efficient.
