SpaceX attempted a second launch of its Starship rocket on Saturday morning. The rocket reached space for the first time today, but its Super Heavy booster, which propelled it to space, exploded shortly after separation from the rocket. The Starship rocket itself lost contact and is presumed to have exploded as well. The rocket is currently the world’s most powerful one ever built, and the company hopes it could carry astronauts back to the Moon and eventually to Mars.
