SpaceX Rocket Prototype Crash Lands During Test

VOA News

   The test launch and landing of a SpaceX Starship prototype Tuesday
   ended in a crash for the second time since December.

   The bullet-shaped 50-meter-tall SN-9 Starship rocket, a product of
   entrepreneur Elon Musk's private space company, lifted off as planned
   from the southern Texas launch site and traveled 10 kilometers into the
   sky before making its descent for a planned soft landing back on the
   launch pad.
