SpaceX Mars rocket ends in fireball. Again.

Just when you were thinking that Elon Musk hadn’t been in the news for, ooh, hours, his SpaceX Starship rocket crashed and burned in Texas.

The giant craft, which Musk hopes will carry people to Mars one day, failed in its landing, bursting into a giant fireball.

It had successfully reached its target altitude of around 6.2 miles (10km) but hit the ground at a fatally bad angle, causing its doom. A similar fate befell a previous test flight in December.

‘We’ve just got to work on that landing a little bit,’ said John Insprucker, a SpaceX engineer hosting a webcast of the test.

No way.
