SpaceX launched the newest version of its giant Starship rocket Friday (May 22), from a recently completed second pad at its Starbase manufacturing and test facility in South Texas.

SpaceX launched its latest Starship test flight from Texas, with the spacecraft completing most mission objectives before exploding in the Indian Ocean after splashdown.

The mission served as the much-anticipated debut of SpaceX’s third-generation megarocket, a heavily redesigned, souped-up vehicle configuration officially dubbed Version 3 (V3).
