Watch Space X Starship Launch in Slow Motion – MegaRocket Detonates 10 Minutes After Launch

Space X had what was considered a mostly successful launch of the 400 foot tall Starship megarocket today.

The unmanned rocket, which was almost 400 feet tall launched at 8 am EDT for an important test flight. It was a successful launch and both stages of the rocket appeared to have a successful separation.

Space X and Elon Musk have reached milestones in rocket and spacecraft technology that are unprecedented in the industry.

There were some issues that Space X explained on X (Twitter).
About 10 minutes after liftoff Space X mission control lost contact with Starship. It is believed that an automated termination system aboard the spacecraft caused the detonation of Starship.

The booster experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly shortly after stage separation while Starship's engines fired for several minutes on its way to space.
