Watch: SpaceX conducts successful Starship rocket test flight

SpaceX has completed a test flight of its Starship megarocket, followed by a successful soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean an hour after launch.

It was the rocket's 13th test flight. The company, owned by Elon Musk, cited engine failure at liftoff during an aborted launch attempt last week.

This was also the second flight for this version of Starship, called V3, and its first flight as a publicly traded company.
