SpaceX Starship lost on return to Earth after completing majority of third test flight

Another setback for SpaceX's Starship rocket, which was intended for lunar missions and beyond, occurred on its third test flight when it broke apart. Even though it passed a number of engineering benchmarks, the malfunction exposes shortcomings in its advancement. 

The cruise ship atop the Super Heavy rocket booster, known as the Starship, took off from Starbase close to Boca Chica Village, Texas. reached high altitudes of 145 miles, exceeding previous records, however re-entry was still unsuccessful. During re-entry, Starship's communication with mission control was lost, causing it to disintegrate in Earth's atmosphere. Restarting one of Starship's Raptor engines would have been a crucial step toward success, but SpaceX decided against it. The primary project goal was lost when Super Heavy rocket recovery, a crucial component of SpaceX's reusability strategy, was not achieved.
