World's largest rocket lands in Indian Ocean while on fire, SpaceX calls it 'softest' landing

SpaceX has launched the world's largest rocket, Starship, on its first test flight after the space tech startup's IPO. The rocket, as tall as a 40-storey building, deployed 20 satellites before its booster encountered engine issues and had a harder-than-planned landing. The rocket itself landed in the Indian Ocean, followed by what SpaceX said was its "softest splashdown".
