Starship splashes down in the Indian Ocean
SpaceX expected some sunlight at Starship’s landing site in the Indian Ocean, which helped engineers see its safe landing.
That paid off today, as SpaceX saw the Starship make a safe landing at its watery target, staying intact despite a rough landing trajectory.
“Turns out the vehicle had more capability than our calculations predicted, and that is why we test like we fly,” said SpaceX engineer Kate Tice.
