Rocket designed by Elon Musk’s company reached altitude of more than 210km at a speed of 25,700km/h

company, recorded its first fully successful test flight on Thursday, splashing down in the Indian Ocean minus any fiery explosion that ended previous attempts.

SpaceX celebrated its intact return as the real achievement of the flight. It followed a hard crash landing and fiery destruction of the uncrewed craft last November, seven months after its inaugural test launch ended in similar fashion, and its break-up on re-entry after a trip around the planet in March.

In January, Nasa announced that Artemis III, which will land four astronauts including the first woman on the lunar surface, had been delayed until at least September 2026. The under-development SpaceX lander will rendezvous with the astronauts in orbit before descending to the moon.
