On June 6, the "Starship" rocket of SpaceX, Musk's space exploration technology company, carried out its fourth test flight today. During the last test flight, the Starship lost contact during re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. During this test flight, a few minutes after the Starship flew, the super heavy booster used to propel it into Earth orbit separated and fell back to Earth as planned. Then, the booster ignited the engine for the last time to slow its impact speed, and then the Starship successfully achieved a soft landing in the Gulf of Mexico, which represents a new milestone for the company's test flight operation.
