What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
SpaceX's Starship v3 executed its 13th test flight, with the booster splashing down in the Gulf and the upper stage in the Indian Ocean. It deployed 20 Starlink V3 satellites, expanding capacity and power. The IPO occurred last month and SPCX has traded weakly since, so progress on Starlink expansion and NASA testing could drive upside, while engine relight issues temper enthusiasm.
