SpaceX Starship: Elon Musk's firm to try again with big rocket launch

Elon Musk's SpaceX company will have another go on Thursday at launching its mammoth new rocket, Starship. Watch our live coverage here.

An attempt to fly the 120m-high vehicle on Monday was thwarted nine minutes from lift-off by a frozen valve.

Airspace and ocean restrictions are again in place to allow Starship to head skyward from Texas' east coast.

A 62-minute window, starting at 08:28 local time (14:28 BST), has been set aside to get Starship up and off Earth.

If it can be made to work, the innovative rocket system will be used to take people and cargo into orbit, to the Moon and even Mars. read more
