Watch as SpaceX successfully sends its 11th Starship rocket into space from Texas. Elon Musk’s starship mega-rocket - the most powerful launch vehicle ever built - successfully completed an hour-long journey before splash landing into the Indian Ocean on Monday (13 October). During the test mission, the rocket, which has failed in six out of 10 of its previous tests, released mock satellites and relighted an engine while in space. The billionaire hopes the rocket will eventually be used to ferry humans from Earth to Mars, where he hopes to establish a colony by the mid 2030s. NASA is also relying on the rocket in order to complete its Artemis mission, which will place astronauts on the moon again.

SpaceX will conduct the 11th test flight of its Starship rocket Monday amid concerns that the United States is losing the race to return humans to the moon.

SpaceX's Starship has been marked by numerous challenges and successes throughout 10 flight tests.

SpaceX launched the 11th flight test of its Starship, the two-stage, heavy-lift launch vehicle designed to take humans back to the moon and eventually to Mars.
