SpaceX launches Starship's 1st orbital flight test

SpaceX on Monday launched the world's largest and most powerful rocket and spacecraft on a mission that, if all goes well, will be the first time the spacecraft has achieved orbit.

If the company's 14th test flight goes as planned, it will also be the first Starship mission to make money for SpaceX. The company plans to deploy 26 Starlink satellites into orbit to build out its satellite internet division, SpaceX's primary revenue generator.
