SpaceX launches new rocket, pair of explosions ends the second test flight

ABC News published this video item, entitled “SpaceX launches new rocket, pair of explosions ends the second test flight” – below is their description.

SpaceX launched its Starship rocket Saturday morning for the deep-space vehicle’s second test flight, during which the booster exploded after separating and the spacecraft apparently detonated after reaching space.

The mega rocket — which is designed to bring NASA astronauts to the moon — successfully lifted off from Boca Chica, Texas, under the power of all 33 engines, SpaceX officials said. The booster then successfully separated from the spacecraft before shortly experiencing what SpaceX called a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” and exploding. https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/spacex-starship-second-test-flight/story?id=105003773
