Sputnik comes live from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, as billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX launches its first flight test of its Starship.
The SpaceX Starship is a fully reusable spacecraft designed to transport crew and cargo into Earth's orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond. It stands approximately 394ft tall and has a diameter of 30ft. The spacecraft has a unique stainless steel design and is powered by six Raptor engines, allowing for powerful lift-offs and precise landings.
The main goal of SpaceX is to have a fully reusable launch system for long-distance missions to the Moon and Mars. NASA said it plans to use Starship for its Artemis 3 mission to the Moon in 2025 - the first manned crew landing on the moon since 1972.
