This screengrab from SpaceX live shows the SpaceX Starship rocket launching from Starbase, Texas, on May 27, 2025. SpaceX launched its next test flight of its Starship megarocket – the linchpin of founder Elon Musk's Mars ambitions – after the vessel's last two outings ended in fiery explosions. The launch window opened at 6:30 pm (2330 GMT) from the company's Starbase facility near a southern Texas village that recently voted to become a city, also called Starbase. Standing 403 feet (123 meters) tall, Starship is the largest and most powerful launch vehicle ever built, and it carries Musk's hopes of making humanity a multi-planetary species.
