Starship/Super Heavy lifts off on second flight

SpaceX’s Starship vehicle reached space on its second integrated test flight Nov. 18 but broke apart late in its ascent after stage separation.

I think it’s safe to celebrate the SpaceX team for today’s amazing flight!

    First stage worked beautifully, but engines started failing after stage separation and it self-destructed.

    Second stage also looked like it was going perfectly, but a few seconds before its burn ended it also self-destructed for no immediately apparent reason. It was literally seconds away from achieving orbit

      All I got from the article is that they lost telemetry. For all we know it got eaten by another spaceship up there.
