SpaceX's Starship 11 successfully launched on October 13, 2025, achieving all key objectives, including the splashdown of its super-heavy rocket booster in the Indian Ocean. This successful test, part of the second version's final phase, has bolstered investor confidence, leading to a nearly 4% rise in shares of Rocket Lab, AST SpaceMobile, and Intuitive Machines. The launch underscores significant progress in NASA's Artemis program and future Mars missions, as SpaceX prepares for the third version upgrade.
