SpaceX's third launch attempt of Starship took the spacecraft farther and higher than ever before. ROB SCHMITZ, HOST: Today in Texas, the largest rocket ever made lifted off from its launch pad.The tallest rocket ever built

When stacked on top of each other, Starship and Super Heavy stand 394 feet tall. That's nearly 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty and 31 feet taller than the Saturn V, the next-tallest rocket ever built.When stacked and fully fueled, Starship has a mass of approximately 5,000 t (11,000,000 lb), a diameter of 9 m (30 ft) and a height of 121.3 m (398 ft).

Can Starship go to Mars : SpaceX's Starship rocket will be on Mars by the end of the decade and a future version will travel between the stars, billionaire Elon Musk said on Monday, days after the company celebrated major progress after the rocket's third test flight as it works with NASA to return astronauts to the moon.

Why did Starship 3 fail

During the test, multiple first-stage engines failed and the rocket began to tumble. Engineers activated a self-destruct mechanism while the ship was in mid-air.

Did SpaceX lose Starship : Starship reached an altitude of about 145 miles (233 kilometers) as it coasted across the Atlantic and South Africa, before approaching the Indian Ocean. But 49 minutes into the flight — with just 15 minutes remaining — all contact was lost and the spacecraft presumably broke apart.

Starship is a reusable rocket larger and far more powerful than NASA's Artemis Special Launch System and one that could take humans to the moon and Mars.

The combined Starship and Super Heavy together stand at as towering 394 feet tall (120 meters) compared to the Saturn 5 rocket which was 363 feet (111 meters).

What can fit in Starship

As well as transporting people, Starship will be able to transport cargo such as satellites and equipment to assist with the construction of a 'Moon base', as SpaceX call it. With a payload capacity of up to 150 tonnes fully reusable, Starship has impressive potential.Starship HLS (Human Landing System) is a lunar lander variant of the Starship spacecraft that is slated to transfer astronauts from a lunar orbit to the surface of the Moon and back.Starship is the landing system that will bring astronauts to the lunar surface with the Artemis 3 mission, no earlier than 2026.

9/10 engines were initially relit. During the boostback burn, a LOX filter blockage occurred and resulted in progressive engine failures which led to the destruction of the booster. At T+7:05, a planned vent of liquid oxygen caused several explosions and fires.

Did Starship 3 crash : How SpaceX's third launch got lost over Indian Ocean. SpaceX launched its powerful two-stage Starship rocket into space Thursday, a third test flight that outperformed the previous two last year, before the craft was apparently lost on reentry.

Is NASA using Starship : As part of NASA's Artemis campaign to return humans to the Moon for the benefit of all, the agency is working with SpaceX to develop the company's Starship human landing system (HLS), which will land astronauts near the Moon's South Pole during the Artemis III and Artemis IV missions.

How big is Starship vs Saturn 5

The combined Starship and Super Heavy together stand at as towering 394 feet tall (120 meters) compared to the Saturn 5 rocket which was 363 feet (111 meters).

Starship is a stainless steel beast of a machine. At nearly 400 feet tall, it's bigger than the Saturn V rocket that carried Apollo astronauts to the moon.The spacecraft is designed to transport both crew and cargo to a variety of destinations, including Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and potentially beyond. It is intended to enable long duration interplanetary flights for a crew of up to 100 people.

Why is Starship so big : Payload Delivery

With a payload compartment larger than any fairing currently in operation or development, Starship will enable transport of many satellites, large space telescopes, and significant amounts of cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond.
