Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched its eleventh Starship rocket from Starbase, Texas on Monday, a test mission to demonstrate the giant vehicle’s reusable design for lofting satellites and eventually taking humans to the moon and Mars.

Starship, consisting of the Starship upper stage stacked atop its Super Heavy booster, launched around 7:20 pm ET from SpaceX’s Starbase facilities.

After sending the Starship stage to space, Super Heavy returned for a soft water landing in the Gulf of Mexico roughly 10 minutes after liftoff.

A mission in August ended a streak of testing failures earlier this year as SpaceX pushed to stress-test features for its total reusability.
