After multiple launch attempts this week, most of which were due to adverse weather conditions and ground-based issues, Starship Flight 10’s launch was a wild success, with both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship Upper Stage successfully landing on their designated splashdown zones.Â

Additional commentary on Starship’s splashdown…
Looking ahead, Musk wrote on X that test flights 13, 14, and 15 will most likely be when SpaceX uses its massive launch tower – outfitted with “chopstick” arms – to catch Starship, a system already employed to catch the Super Heavy booster.
