SpaceX's giant rocket, Starship, successfully launched but exploded mid-flight.
After following the planned trajectory for about two minutes, the spacecraft and its Super Heavy first stage significantly deviated and began losing altitude before being destroyed.
Despite the explosion, SpaceX does not consider this a failure, as they primarily aimed to collect data from the first-ever flight of the Super Heavy stage.
Elon Musk congratulated the team and acknowledged that they learned a lot from the event.
