Minutes after its launching, the latest test of Space X’s giant Starship rocket failed, erupting like fireworks.
Reports coming from the company was that the upper stage was lost after problems developed after lift-off from Texas on Thursday.
But the Super Heavy booster managed to return to its launchpad as planned, prompting an eruption of applause from ground control teams.
The mission came hours after the first flight of the Blue Origin New Glenn rocket system, backed by Amazon boss Jeff Bezos.
The CEO of SpaceX Elon Musk in a post on twitter after the failure of Starship joking stated: “Success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed!”
