AI Summary

SpaceX’s Starship completed its 14th flight, becoming the first of its kind to enter low‑Earth orbit. The launch began early Monday morning, using the Super Heavy booster paired with the Starship vehicle. During ascent the system lost one of its six Raptor engines, a setback that the company chose to accept rather than abort. Despite the engine loss, the vehicle continued and achieved orbit, albeit with a compromised performance.
