The much-awaited launch of the largest spaceship ever built, billionaire Elon Musk’s ‘Starship’, ended in failure as the rocket blew up shortly after takeoff from Texas on Thursday (20th April).
It was an uncrewed flight.
The 119-metre tall Starship, built by SpaceX, was built to carry up to 150 tonnes of cargo into space.
It’s engines are powered by a fuel mix of liquid oxygen and liquid methane.
