SpaceX says its Starship rocket did not survive re-entry during its test flight today. The most powerful rocket ever built successfully launched into space this morning. It was supposed to splash down in the Indian Ocean, but SpaceX lost communication with Starship as it made its way back down to earth. This after the previous two test flights ended in explosions. Starship is designed to eventually carry NASA astronauts to the moon.
