SpaceX Starship Explodes On Test Flight

USA – Elon Musk’s SpaceX company’s mammoth new rocket, ‘Starship’ exploded on its maiden flight.

SpaceX was aiming to send the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built on a round-the-world trip from the southern tip of Texas, near the Mexican border. The nearly 400-foot Starship carried no people or satellites.

Images showed several of the 33 main engines were not firing as Starship climbed from the launch pad, reaching as high as 24 miles.
