Elon Musk's SpaceX lost the world's largest rocket on its way back to Earth, but they say it was a success. SpaceX carried out this Thursday, from Boca Chica (Texas), the third test flight of Starship - the largest and most powerful ship in the world that seeks to reach outer space.

The company confirmed the " loss " of the ship shortly after making its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere and before it reached the waters of the Indian Ocean. Last April, Starship's two stages failed to separate and mission controllers activated an emergency system that intentionally blew up the rocket.
