After Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin nailed its first-ever orbital flight, Elon Musk's SpaceX is seizing back the spotlight on Thursday with the latest launch of Starship, the gargantuan next-generation rocket that could one day ferry humans to Mars.

SpaceX has carried out the seventh test flight of its Starship mega-rocket from Texas. Although it managed to capture the booster for the second time, communication with the spacecraft was lost eight minutes after liftoff.

The seventh test flight of SpaceX's Starship has successfully taken off from Boca Chica, Texas. Newsweek's live blog is closed.

Jeff Bezos, the second richest man in the world, successfully blasted off a 320-foot-tall rocket ship made by his Blue Origin company from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in the early hours of the morning. It made the company the first to successfully reach orbit on its first launch of an orbital-class rocket.

Blue Origin scored a major win with its New Glenn rocket launch, but SpaceX still leads the space industry with a Falcon fleet and upcoming Starship.

Dramatic footage showing streaks of light zipping across the sky surfaced online following Elon Musk's Starship explosion over the Atlantic Ocean.

Jeff Bezos's space company Blue Origin successfully launched its rocket into orbit on its first test flight, on the same day that Elon Musk's Starship launched its seventh test flight.

Elon Musk reposted a photo taken of him and Jeff Bezos at dinner together over twenty years ago. "Wow, a lot has happened in 21 years!" he wrote while reacting to the picture.

Hours after Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin nailed its first-ever orbital mission, SpaceX seized back the spotlight on Thursday as its latest test of Starship, its gargantuan next-generation megarocket, ended with the upper stage dramatically disintegrating over the Atlantic.

Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin joined the billionaire’s space race in earnest when its New Glenn rocket roared from a launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in the early morning hours of Jan. 16. The second stage with the Blue Ring payload successfully reached orbit. However, an attempt to land the first stage on a drone ship failed.

The two tech titans, known to be at loggerheads, seem to be warming up to each other thanks to their rocketry journey with SpaceX and Blue Origin.

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin debuted its massive ... the FAA said in a statement that it “is aware an anomaly occurred during the SpaceX Starship Flight 7 mission.” The email also says ...
