The Starship is said to be the world’s most powerful rocket. It reached its farthest and fastest flight during this test launch. According to SpaceX, communication with it was lost during its re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere over the Indian Ocean.

High-definition footage from an onboard camera showed the Starship in space, showing the curve of the Earth in the background as it travelled at speeds exceeding 26,000 km per hour.

“Wild that this is a real picture,” tweeted SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, sharing an image of the rocket in space. SpaceX also shared several images on their official X page, captioning them, “ship in space.”
