Boca Chica, Texas

SpaceX launched the maiden orbital test flight of its Starship rocket from its Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas. The integrated Super Heavy booster and Starship lifted off on a planned sub-orbital trajectory, though the vehicle was lost minutes into the flight after the rocket failed to complete its full ascent. The test was closely watched as a milestone in the development of the most powerful rocket ever built.
