SpaceX’s Mars rocket launches and successfully lands for first time

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is one step closer to Mars. 

The space travel company launched and successfully landed for the first time a prototype of its Starship rocket, which the company intends to use to send people and cargo to Mars.  It was the fifth high-altitude test flight for the company. The previous four tests ended in massive explosions before, during or shortly after the landing of the rocket.
