SpaceX on Saturday launched Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket in the world, on its second test flight. The lift-off happened from the company's Starbase facility in Texas. However, the launch is presumed to have failed. Space lost contact with the two-stage rocketship, launched for a 90-minute spaceflight, approximately 10 minutes after liftoff, reported a company broadcaster. The colossal rocket flew for the first time in April, but it ran into several issues and exploded mid-air shortly after launch.
