Trump watches on as SpaceX calls off catch attempt as booster splashes down to Earth

Just weeks after SpaceX stunned audiences with a precision landing of a giant rocket booster, the company has kicked off another test flight of the most powerful launch vehicle ever built. SpaceX again planned an attempt to steer the booster back into the mechanical arms — or "chopsticks"— of a launch tower, but did not meet the required criteria and has abandoned today's attempt of the booster catch. The nearly 121-metre Starship system took flight on November 19 from the company's Starbase facility near Brownsville, Texas.

Ukraine says Russia has launched an ICBM in an attack for the first time in the war

It wasn't clear exactly what type of missile was fired overnight, but Ukraine's air force said in a statement on Telegram on Thursday that it was launched from Russia's Astrakhan region.

Australia backs Palestinians’ ‘permanent sovereignty’ at UN in significant foreign policy shift

Australia has voted to recognise Palestinians' "permanent sovereignty" over their natural resources in a significant foreign policy shift that breaks with the US and Israel.

Votes on both resolutions will now go to the UN's General Assembly. (AP Photo/Julia Ni...
