SpaceX launches Starship, the world's largest rocket, at second attempt - watch live in the stream aboveLive reporting by Bhvishya Patel and Tom Acres, with analysis from science and technology editor Tom ClarkeThe world's biggest and most powerful rocket system has launched into space.
We're into the final two minutes before the launch window opens and there are"no launch vehicle issues".Of course, the frozen valve that put paid to Monday's launch attempt saw that one scrapped with 40 seconds remaining.
Musk won't be the only one with his fingers crossed, as NASA has also made Starship central to its own space exploration ambitions. It will then re-enter the atmosphere and free-fall into the Pacific at supersonic speed, off the coast of the northern Hawaiian islands. "Perhaps inevitable," Musk tweeted when his company first suggested the launch would be moved to today.
Monday's launch of the largest rocket ever built was scrubbed with just minutes to go - this afternoon they'll be trying again.
