An upgraded version of the world's most powerful rocket is key to landing NASA astronauts on the moon in the agency's Artemis program.

Following an aborted launch attempt last week in which several engines failed to ignite at liftoff, SpaceX’s Starship megarocket is back on the launchpad in Starbase, Texas.

Twenty minutes into its spaceflight, Starship began ​deploying 20 Starlink V3 satellites, dispensing them one by one via the ship's "Pez"-like payload deployment.
