Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship makes spectacular splash-down after successful test flight

Incredible photos showed Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship making a spectacular “belly flop” splash-down in the Indian Ocean Sunday morning following a successful test flight.

The Starship — which is designed to carry astronauts back to the moon by 2026 — successfully launched Sunday and then separated from its Falcon Super Heavy rocket booster.

The booster was then steered back to Earth and caught by the “Mechazilla arms” at SpaceX’s Starbase in Texas.

The Starship fell into the ocean after a short flight halfway around the Earth.

I saw this when I was a child on b/w tv. They called it Flash Gordon. Looks just as fake today as it did then.
