SpaceX's Rocket 'Failure' Will 'Better Ensure Success'

Despite last week's inaugural test launch of SpaceX's massive Starship rocket ending in an even more massive fireball just four minutes after liftoff, space experts are still hailing the fleeting flight as a success, stressing that every perceived "failure" will ultimately lead to a better product.

The world's largest rocket – which could eventually shuttle humans to the moon or even Mars – traveled about 24 miles into the sky before erupting in a tremendous explosion.
