Top claims

▪A previous launch attempt a week prior was aborted after ignition due to multiple rocket engine failures, leading SpaceX to replace six engines.
▪This was the first Starship launch since SpaceX went public in June 2026 in what was the largest IPO in history.
▪The deployed Starlink V3 satellites burned up in the atmosphere about 20 minutes after deployment as Starship cannot yet reach a stable orbit.
