@thetimes: A SpaceX Starship rocket broke up in space minutes after launching from Texas on Thursday, forcing airline flights over the Gulf of Mexico to alter course to avoid falling debris and setting back Elon Musk's flagship rocket program. SpaceX mission control lost contact with the newly upgraded Starship, carrying its first test payload of mock satellites but no crew, eight minutes after lift-off from its South Texas rocket facilities at 5:38 p.m. EST (2238 GMT). #spacex #elonmusk #spacerocket
