Footage showed the moment that Elon Musk‘s SpaceX Starship exploded in space and less than 10 minutes into its planned 90-minute mission.
The spaceship’s main module blew up shortly after taking off at 1pm UK time on Saturday.
A clip of Starship’s second test flight showed the Super Heavy booster rocket successfully separate from the main module, which would carry passengers in a real flight.
Around 30 seconds later the booster experienced a ‘rapid unscheduled disassembly’ or an explosion.
The main spaceship craft continued at 24,000 kph (or 19,000 mph) before losing contact with ground control and appearing to explode 90 miles above the Earth’s surface.
