SpaceX's Largest and Most Powerful Rocket Blasted Off From Texas
Largest and most powerful rocket ever built has blasted off from Texas. But it blew up within minutes in a test flight that its makers SpaceX hope will be the first step on a human journey to Mars. It was not immediately clear whether the rocket exploded spontaneously, or if the flight determination system was activated. The mammoth spacecraft stands 10 meters taller than the Saturn V rocket that sent humans to the moon in 1969. Musk says the reusability of rockets makes spaceflight significantly cheaper than what NASA could offer.
