SpaceX's ninth flight test for its rocket and uncrewed spacecraft saw the first re-flown booster in action.

The test was broadcast on SpaceX founder Elon Musk's social platform, X.com.

The booster detached from Starship in a method called hot-staging, which means the top part of the rocket starts its engines while still connected to the booster.
