Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched its Starship rocket early Saturday, aiming for a longer test flight after the company’s previous attempt ended in an explosion.
The towering rocket took off from the company’s spaceport east of Brownsville, Texas, on what is intended to be a roughly 90-minute operation. Shortly after the launch, the Starship spacecraft separated from a huge booster and began to ascend on its own, according to a company livestream.
