SpaceX's Starship Flight 13 successfully deployed 20 Starlink V3 satellites, completed an in-space engine relight, and achieved its softest splashdown yet after two delays.

SpaceX completed a successful test flight of its Starship rocket on Friday evening, setting the stage for more ambitious developments in the months to come.

The rocket took off from the company’s Starbase site near Brownsville, Texas around 6:45 p.m. Eastern time on its 13th demo mission, soaring on an easterly trajectory.
