Elon Musk has claimed his Starship rocket will “make life multiplanetary” after its most successful launch to date.

The SpaceX founder’s comments came after the world’s largest spacecraft carried out its third test flight in Texas.

In a post published shortly after the mission, Mr Musk, who has long harboured ambitions of colonising Mars, said: “Starship reached orbital velocity! Congratulations SpaceX team! Starship will make life multiplanetary.”
