SpaceX launches Starship, world's most powerful rocket, but flight ends in explosion | full video

SpaceX launched its 500-foot-tall Starship, by far the world's most powerful rocket, on an uncrewed test flight Thursday morning, but a few minutes after clearing the launch pad it failed in a midair explosion. The giant rocket lifted off a few minutes after Thursday's launch window opened at 8:28 a.m. local time (9:28 a.m. ET) at the company's flight test facility in Boca Chica, Texas.
