SpaceX Starship launch: Test flight ends in explosions

SpaceX launched its mega rocket Starship but lost both the booster and the spacecraft in a pair of explosions minutes into a second test flight. The rocketship reached space following Saturday's liftoff from South Texas before communication was lost.
SpaceX launched its mega rocket Starship but lost both the booster and the spacecraft in a pair of explosions minutes into a second test flight. The rocketship reached space following Saturday's liftoff from South Texas before communication was lost. SpaceX says it appears the ship's self-destruct system blew it up over the Gulf of Mexico. The spacecraft's engines were almost done firing to put it on an around-the-world path. Minutes earlier, the separated booster also exploded over the gulf. Despite the failure, the eight-or-so-minute flight lasted twice as long as the first one in April. At 400 feet, Starship is the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built.
