Elon Musk’s SpaceX company’s new rocket, Starship, exploded on its maiden flight.
No-one was hurt in the uncrewed test from Texas, US.
Minutes into the flight, the rocket – the biggest ever developed – started to tumble out of control and was soon destroyed by onboard charges.
Mr Musk has said his company will try again in a couple of months. SpaceX engineers still class Thursday’s mission as a success.
