SpaceX lost contact with its Starship rocket on re-entry over the Indian Ocean on Thursday just as the company named the third test flight a success.

The mega rocket,  the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built, blasted off from Texas near the Mexican border, before vanishing.

The spacecraft continued eastward for a planned hour-long flight and splashdown in the Indian Ocean, with the rocket spending about 45 minutes in space before its command central lost contact.With Post wires
