SpaceX has launched its biggest, most powerful Starship yet. The rocket blasted off from the southern tip of Texas on Friday, carrying 20 mock Starlink satellites on a test flight extending halfway around the world.
SpaceX conducted another successful Starship launch test yesterday evening.

Yep, it looks like that new much larger downcomer may really be the thing to thank, now they can actually feed all those engines fast enough.
