SpaceX's sixth test flight of the Starship megarocket took place on November 19, 2024. The launch was captured by cameras on the International Space Station as it lifted off from South Texas. NASA shared a nearly three-minute video showing the rocket's plume. Starship is being developed for missions to the moon and Mars, and it will serve as the first crewed lander for NASA's Artemis program. During this flight, both stages of the rocket successfully landed in the Gulf of Mexico and the Indian Ocean. However, SpaceX canceled the planned catch of the booster by the launch tower due to communication issues.
