(Bloomberg) — SpaceX’s massive Starship rocket appeared to explode in the sky several minutes after lifting off from its facility in Texas.

The company suggested on a livestream Thursday of the flight that the attempt may still provide valuable information and that simply blasting off could be considered a success.

Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk warned in recent days that the rocket may not successfully reach space.
