After months of attempts, including a successful landing and later rapid unscheduled disassembly (also known as an explosion), SpaceX has done the impossible by launching and landing their Starship prototype, at their “Starbase” located in Boca Chica, Texas, on the border with Mexico.

It was a great day for the flight as today was the 60 year anniversary of Alan Shepard’s history-making flight to become the first American in space.
