SpaceX Starship rocket lost minutes after second launch

After eight minutes of flight, SpaceX's huge Starship rocket loses communication with Earth.

The rocket's upper section effectively detached from the booster, which detonated afterward. The primary rocket then lost contact with it.

Even still, Elon Musk's business celebrated it as a triumph, noting that the rocket outperformed the first effort in April.

Rocket lost control and exploded four minutes after liftoff in April, this time the rocket made it to orbit for the first time.
