Boca Chica, Texas | SpaceX’s colossal Starship rocket suffered a leak, tumbled out of control in space and exploded during a test flight on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST), in a third straight major setback for the Elon Musk-led company.
The launch system, comprised of the Starship upper portion and its Super Heavy booster, thundered off the company’s launchpad in South Texas at 6.36pm local time. As Starship lifted off on its mission, around 1.1 million people tuned in on X.
