Measuring 120-metres-tall, Starship is the biggest rocket ever built, capable of carrying up to 100 people. SpaceX hopes to use it to ferry crew and cargo across the solar system, aiming to establish a permanent human colony on Mars by 2050.

SpaceX has launched another Starship rocket, but passed up catching it with giant mechanical arms. The world's biggest and most powerful rocket blasted off from Texas on Tuesday.
