The moment a SpaceX rocket explodes in the Indian Ocean after splashdown

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has successfully launched Starship V3, the largest and most powerful rocket in history.

Friday’s test flight lasted about an hour and ended with Starship crashing into the Indian Ocean and exploding as scheduled.

The launch took place a day after it was delayed due to a failure of the launch pad’s hydraulic pin.

The test flight achieved most of its key objectives, but both stages of the rocket suffered engine failures.
