The SpaceX Starship, a futuristic craft designed to eventually send astronauts to the moon and beyond, roared into the sky from Texas on Thursday March 14, a third test launch for Elon Musk’s company that has carried it farther than two previous flights that ended with explosions. The two-stage rocket ship, taller than the Statue of Liberty, blasted off from the company’s Starbase launch site near Boca Chica on the Gulf Coast of Texas, on an uncrewed flight to space. It executed a key stage-separation maneuver nearly three minutes later, 44 miles in altitude. SpaceX confirmed the craft was destroyed during atmospheric re-entry after it completed nearly an entire test flight. The test mission, lasting far longer than previous attempts last year, marked only the third attempt to fly Starship mounted atop its towering Super Heavy rocket booster. Both were designed and built by SpaceX, the rocket and satellite company founded in 2002 by billionaire entrepreneur Musk. #spacex
