SpaceX rocket spins out of control after flying past previous failure points

The 403-foot rocket - the largest and most powerful ever built - launched at 6:36 pm CDT Tuesday from SpaceX's Starbase facility in southern Texas , near a village recently voted to become a city, also named Starbase. The mission aimed to deploy eight Starlink satellite simulators and test the vehicle's reentry system by removing 100 heat-shield tiles, according to Fox News.
