Starship reaches orbit Monday deploying 26 Starlink satellites despite engine problem

Elon Musk's Starship spacecraft achieved Earth orbit on Monday, even though its super heavy booster rocket exploded following its descent into the water. The unmanned flight was Starship’s 14th launch attempt, deploying 26 Starlink satellites at 170 miles above the planet. Although the mission ended early after three hours due to an engine problem, SpaceX called it a success.
