SpaceX's Starship had a successful fourth flight test despite a failed engine on the Super Heavy booster. The booster made a controlled splashdown and Starship survived re-entry, with Elon Musk proposing catching the booster with 'mechazilla arms' on the next flight.
During the Starship test, hot gases were seen burning through a flap, suggesting damage. However, Starship mostly made it to the ocean intact and performed a flip maneuver before splashdown, demonstrating progress from previous tests.
