The 403-foot(123-meter)-tall rocket system lifted off at around 6:30 p.m. ET (2300 GMT) from SpaceX’s sprawling Boca Chica, Texas, rocket facilities, with its Super Heavy first stage booster returning back to land as planned. But minutes later, the Starship upper stage began to spin out of control in space, SpaceX’s live stream showed. “Unfortunately this happened last time too so we’ve got some practice now,” SpaceX spokesman Dan Huot said on the live stream.
