SpaceX Starship rocket reaches space during second test launch

SpaceX has lost contact with its Starship mega rocket during its second test flight from southern Texas. The 397ft rocket - the largest and most powerful ever built - arced out over the Gulf of Mexico after blasting off, with SpaceX aiming to separate the spaceship from its booster and send it into space. After the booster separated from the main ship, the rocket reached space for the first time, following the failure of its inaugural mission in April. #spacex #rocket #musk Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
