You know you live in the space age when solar storms knock out farmers' GPS-reliant tractors and a camera in Earth's lofty orbit films a rocket launching through the atmosphere. This camera attached to the International Space Station — the SpaceTV-1 instrument operated by the Earth-monitoring company Sen — captured the launch of SpaceX's colossal Starship rocket on Nov.

SpaceX on Tuesday launched another Starship rocket, but passed up catching the booster with giant mechanical arms. Unlike last month’s success, the booster was directed to a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.
