SpaceX has launched the third test flight of its Starship spacecraft, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, which aims to carry astronauts to the moon and, eventually, to Mars. It took off from SpaceX’s spaceport, named Starbase, on the Gulf of Mexico in Boca Chica, Texas, entering space several minutes later. Two previous attempts ended in the explosion of the spacecraft’s engine booster and the cruise vessel, which is designed to eventually carry up to 100 astronauts. The company says frequent flight testing will provide valuable data that will help it design and develop a more robust rocket
