SpaceX has successfully launched its 10th test flight of the world's most powerful rocket the Starship, which is earmarked for a trip to the moon in 2027.

The rocket lifted off on Tuesday evening (26 August) from Starbase, Texas in what SpaceX say is "a significant step forward in developing the world’s first fully reusable launch vehicle."

It ascended over the Gulf of Mexico, deployed a test payload of eight dummy satellites into space, before coming down as planned in the Indian Ocean around an hour after launch.
