Starship Rocket SN10 Makes Impeccable Soft Landing, and Then Explodes

Third time’s a charm, as the saying goes. SpaceX has been able to achieve a perfect soft landing of the Starship rocket prototype, and it did so on the third attempt. SN10 has made its way into the history books. The previous two attempts saw the SN8 and SN9 prototypes crash upon landing due to the speed of the approach to the landing pad, but the missions were still deemed a success.
