SpaceX's giant Starship rocket has reached Earth orbit for the first time during the test flight of its rocket system. SpaceX had originally planned for the vehicle to circle the Earth several times in about ten hours, but adjusted those plans before the launch. The milestone marks a major step for the Starship program, which is central to SpaceX's plans for deep-space missions.
Why now: The first successful orbital flight of Starship is a major milestone in spaceflight that is drawing wide attention.
