SpaceX Starship bursts into flames after dramatic re-entry and splashdown on Flight 14

Starship Flight 14 completes a successful splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. The mission was supposed to last about 10 hours, but SpaceX announced it was ending early after 90 minutes. SpaceX scripted history on September 28 as its mega rocket Starship reached orbit despite setbacks. The 407-foot-tall vehicle lifted off at 7:48 a.m. CDT from Starbase, Texas, kickstarting its most ambitious mission to space yet. The rocket generated over 18 million pounds of thrust, and executed a successful stage separation and splashdown into the Pacific Ocean, achieving all its objectives. Apart from achieving this primary objective, the Ship also successfully deployed all 26 Starlink satellites over the course of 30 minutes. Video edited using footage owned by SpaceX.
