SpaceX’s Starship Just Did Something for Only the 2nd Time. Saturday Could Be Even Bigger.

SpaceX's Starship reached orbit during Flight 15 on Friday and began deploying 26 Starlink satellites. The Super Heavy booster was diverted to a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico rather than being caught, then burst into flames. The mission therefore did not achieve the planned double catch, while the upper stage completed its orbital flight.
