SpaceX launched an uncrewed Starfall reentry capsule on a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral to demonstrate reentry capabilities and explore concepts like rapid cargo delivery and in-space manufacturing; the mission details remain partly undisclosed, FAA documents indicate two Starfall reentries, and the capsules would be recovered in the Pacific, while the first stage booster landed on a drone ship.
