SpaceX lost the world's largest rocket when it returned to Earth, but they say it was a success. "Starship has never flown so far or so fast," declared a commentator during the live broadcast of billionaire Elon Musk's company.

At 120 meters high, Starship is the largest rocket in the world. SpaceX had a long list of objectives for this third test, including carrying out a "controlled return" of the ship to Earth. The rocket disappeared when it entered the Earth's atmosphere.
