SpaceX’s Starship reaches space for first time but explodes moments later

Elon Musk's next-generation craft reaches space but then explodes, similar to first flight in April

SpaceX's uncrewed spacecraft Starship, developed to carry astronauts to the moon and beyond, reached space for the first time on Saturday but was presumed to have failed minutes later.

It was Starship's second test after its first attempt to reach space ended in an explosion earlier this year.
