SpaceX Starship reaches space on second test flight, but then is lost [i]The world's largest and most powerful rocket to leave the ground flew a mostly-successful test flight on what was only its second launch. SpaceX ignited the 33 engines at the base of its integrated Starship and Super Heavy vehicle on Saturday (Nov. 18), seven months after its first test flight ended just four minutes into flight. This time, the launch at 7:02 a.m. CST (8:02 a.m. EST or 1302 GMT) from SpaceX's Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, continued beyond stage separation, with Starship almost reaching its near-orbital velocity.[/i]
