SpaceX’s massive Starship rocket, central to Elon Musk’s vision for interplanetary travel, launched its ninth uncrewed test flight from Starbase, Texas, on May 27, 2025. The two-stage vehicle—comprising the upper-stage Starship mounted on the Super Heavy booster—blasted off at 7:36 p.m. EDT, soaring higher than previous attempts that ended in fiery failures.
For the first time, SpaceX used a previously flown Super Heavy booster, aiming to prove its reusability. The 232-foot rocket successfully separated from the upper stage several minutes after liftoff. However, SpaceX lost contact with the booster during descent, and it did not achieve its planned controlled splashdown.
Meanwhile, the Starship upper stage continued into space, reaching its intended suborbital trajectory about nine minutes post-launch. The mission encountered trouble when Starship’s payload doors failed to open, preventing the release of simulated satellites. Despite the issue, the vehicle continued toward atmospheric re-entry.
Roughly 30 minutes after liftoff, SpaceX reported that Starship had lost attitude control and began spinning. “Our chances of making it all the way down are pretty slim,” said a SpaceX commentator during the livestream.
The mission was designed to last under 90 minutes, concluding with a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean. Despite the setbacks, the test marks another step in the development of the fully reusable launch system intended for future Moon and Mars missions.
With each test, SpaceX gathers valuable data as it pushes the boundaries of next-generation spaceflight technology. Starship remains central to NASA’s Artemis program and Musk’s broader goal of making humanity multiplanetary. While challenges persist, each flight brings Starship closer to its operational debut.
