The SpaceX Starship program encountered a hurdle following its 13th test mission on July 24. While the vehicle successfully reached its target splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean, it tipped over after touching down, which has made retrieval difficult. Elon Musk, the CEO, noted that the chances of recovery appear slim. Nevertheless, the team managed to obtain detailed photos of the engines and heat shield to help guide improvements for upcoming flights.
