The starship rocket launching.
A screengrab from SpaceX's livestream on X shows Starship lifting off for its second attempt at space.
  • SpaceX's Starship, the world's largest rocket, may launch toward orbit on Thursday.
  • Starship exploded mid-flight on its first two attempts. It hasn't reached space yet.
  • If Starship reaches orbit, it'll be a major spaceflight achievement. You can watch the attempt live.

Watching a rocket launch is a thrilling experience. Watching SpaceX's Starship, the world's largest rocket ever, is even more exciting.
