This was the eighth Starship test, the largest and powerful rocket in the world, in its mission of return and capture of the Super Heavy propeller rocket. "During Starship's rise burn, the vehicle experienced rapid unchanging disassembly and contact was lost. Our team immediately began coordination with security officers to implement previously planned contingency responses.
We will check today's flight test data to better understand the root cause. As always, success comes from what we learn, and today's flight will offer additional lessons to improve Starship's reliability, "Spacex shared in its official Facebook profile.
