Starship, the most powerful rocket system ever built, will launch from Texas on Friday
SpaceX will attempt a second test flight of the world’s largest rocket on Friday, with expectations high for a big show after April’s launch, when the spacecraft pulverised the launchpad during lift-off and then exploded at altitude.
The 120-metre Starship rocket system, the most powerful ever built, is due to launch from Texas between 7am and 9am local time (1pm-3pm in the UK), although bad weather or technical issues could delay the flight.
