Starship’s upper stage completes its longest orbital flight yet.

The upper stage’s flight lasted more than 22 hours, during which it circled Earth 14 times. The report describes it as Starship’s longest orbital flight to date. It then returned to the Texas launch tower, where the tower’s arms caught it. The booster failed to return after a navigation-system fault, so only the upper stage was recovered.
