SpaceX loses contact with Starship rocket eight minutes after second launch - BBC News

SpaceX launched its massive Starship rocket in Texas, US, but lost contact after eight minutes of flight.

The top part of the rocket - the most powerful ever developed - successfully separated from the booster which then blew up. Contact was then lost with the main rocket.

Elon Musk's company still hailed it as a success and the rocket flew further than the failed first attempt in April.
