The biggest and most powerful rocket ever built – that was the boast from SpaceX, the company owned by Elon Musk, a man who has never knowingly undersold himself.Musk congratulated his team and called the take off a triumph despite the ensuing ball of fire.
SpaceX also sparked social media ridicule by explaining away the explosion as a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”.
