SpaceX launched its sixth Starship rocket Tuesday, proving for the first time that the stainless steel ship can maneuver in space and paving the way for a even larger, upgraded vehicle to debut on the next test flight.
The world's biggest launcher—standing 398 feet (121.3 meters) tall—lifted off from SpaceX's Starbase facility in South Texas at 4 pm CST (22:00 UTC) Tuesday.
