Starship, biggest and most powerful rocket ever made, exploded three minutes after launch

The flight of the Starship spacecraft turned into an emergency situation three minutes after launch. The rocket spun, there was an explosion, follows from the broadcast. The host said that not all engines had time to turn on.

The footage from the broadcast shows an explosion in the sky and flying debris.

The rocket successfully left its launchpad in Texas, but the two pieces of the spacecraft failed to separate as planned. Shortly after, the two exploded in the air, leaving a dramatic cloud in the sky.

It was the first time that the “fully-integrated” version of Starship – with the spacecraft upper stage attached to the ‘Super Heavy’ booster – has ever launched. Together, they are the biggest and most powerful rocket ever made, with twice the thrust of the Saturn V rocket that carried humanity to the Moon.
