People watch the takeoff of the SpaceX Starship mega rocket in Matamoros, Tamaulipas state, Mexico, 18 November 2023. The second flight test of the uncrewed Starship spacecraft, carried out from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, USA, on the border with Mexico, once again gathered hundreds of people to watch the launch from the mouth of the Rio Grande in Matamoros. Starship soared roughly 55 miles (90km) above the ground on a planned 90-minute flight into space. But the rocket's Super Heavy first stage booster exploded over the Gulf of Mexico shortly after detaching. (Photo by Abraham Pineda-Jacome/EPA)
