SpaceX Starship Lands Upright in the Ocean—Then Gently Tips Over. Perfect.
There may be no better reason to chant “USA” than watching an American rocket return from space, flip itself upright and splash down exactly where it was supposed to.
SpaceX's Starship rocket just performed a flip maneuver and precisely splashed down on target in the Indian Ocean next to a few buoys with @Starlink on them. The softest splashdown we've seen yet.
