It's not yet known what went wrong and it was unclear if all 33 Raptors were firing at launch. The rocket blew up at about 127,000 feet over the Gulf of Mexico. Engineers are analyzing data.
Starship is a reusable rocket larger and far more powerful than NASA's Artemis Special Launch System and one that could take humans to the moon and Mars. The launch, with no one aboard, was the second attempt to fly the combined Starship spacecraft and its 33-engine Super Heavy booster.
