November 14: SpaceX's heavy-lift launch vehicle "Starship" conducted its 15th test flight on the afternoon of the 13th Central Time, originally planning for the first time to attempt the return of both the booster and the spacecraft to the launch site, with recovery by "catching" using the launch tower's mechanical arms, but the booster failed to return to the launch site as planned.

At approximately 16:48 Central Time on the 13th (around 6:48 Beijing Time on the 14th), "Starship" lifted off from the launch base in southern Texas. Subsequently, the rocket's first and second stages separated. The "Super Heavy" booster did not return to the launch site as originally planned and made a controlled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.

SpaceX closed down 0.59% on Friday, fell 2.05% after hours. In the dark pool, it is currently down 0.93%, at $136.52.
