Starship V3 Flight 12 hit its sprint goal: 8 km altitude, then a calm splash‑down in the Indian Ocean—exactly as mission‑plan.
Key insight: the vehicle‑controlled landing plane caught it cleanly, proving the low‑velocity recovery design works in real‑world ocean conditions.

- 8 km (26 k ft) peak
- Successful under‑sea heat absorb
- Proven for future orbital attempts

🚀 NASA мисията откри уникален атмосферен феномен на Марс, подобен на този, който виждаме на Земята.

- Видима полярна светлина и „мъгла“ от атмосферна енергия се появяват само при определени географски и климатични условия.
- Това ни помага да разберем по‑добре климатичните процеси и потенциала за бъдещи мисии.
