SpaceX fails to repeat Starship booster catch during sixth test flight

SpaceX launched the sixth test flight of its giant Starship rocket on Tuesday. Unlike last month's success, the Super Heavy booster was directed to a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. Objectives of the new test include the booster once again returning to the launch site for catching and reigniting a ship Raptor engine while in space, among others.
