Just now, SpaceX's famous Starship, the world's largest rocket ever placed into service, successfully made its first flight after a delay from 2 days ago.
The Starship made it into the stratosphere, but the 2 stages failed to separate and the rocket blew up. However, this flight is still a major milestone for SpaceX, as it brings Starship one step closer to reaching Mars.
You can watch the livestream of the launch here.
This is not a thing,or a n1 rocket.

@Inuyasha8215 it was launched in Texas
Welp starship gone RUD
This unfortunately reminded me of the 3rd launch of N1/L3
It was nice
@goboygo1 and besides that, NASA tends to avoid failure as much as possible, while SpaceX embraces failure as a method of improvement
@Numbers2 Nasa's much older, their technology is proven and refined. SpaceX is pushing the limits, and developing new tech, they're gonna have to blow up a few more rockets to get to mars.
Is it me or do Space X rockets blow up more frequently than NASA rockets
@DeadlyDialga Sucks to be you. I woke up (fortunately very easily) like a minute or two before I was able to get on my headphones and see them announce that countdown had resumed from 40 seconds.
And then watch it pull what they in the business call a "Stayputnik flip".

Let us remember the Soviet N1 rocket, for today it lost the only two things it had:
1. Most powerful rocket stage ever flown.
2. Most powerful rocket stage to blow up.
May the glorious (almost) Space-Cone live on in our hearts, because that thing looked retro as f*ck.
looks like it launched right into the ground to me
still cool to see that crazy tesla man is keeping some of his promises
@asteroidbook345 can't have spaceships in california 💀💀💀
Common SpaceX L
Nice a lotta helicopters will be flying around
i watched it. I liked how the camera picked up all the panels that fell off the booster after launch
Woke up two hours early just to watch the launch livestream. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
You're so fast...
Nice job spaceX !
