On the morning of September 28th (local time), which corresponds to the evening of the same day in Beijing, SpaceX's Starship, a heavy-lift launch vehicle, undertook its 14th test flight, soaring into the sky from a launch base situated in southern Texas. This historic flight signifies Starship's inaugural endeavor to penetrate Earth's orbit, with an ambitious plan to circumnavigate the globe approximately six times over a span of nearly 10 hours. Notably, during this test flight, neither the booster nor the spacecraft itself will be retrieved; instead, the spacecraft is slated to make a controlled splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, near the coast of Chile.
