1:20Now PlayingSpaceX's gigantic Starship rocket has been "lost" just minutes into its seventh test flight.
The 400ft rocket - the biggest and most powerful in the world - soared from Boca Chica, south Texas, on Thursday around 4.40pm local time (10.40pm in the UK).
Just minutes after the rocket launched, its booster made its planned return to the ground and after momentarily hovering over the launchpad, it was spectacularly caught between two giant mechanical arms.
It was one of two high-profile rocket launches on the same day, with Jeff Bezos also sending his Blue Origin New Glenn rocket into space.
