SpaceX is aiming to launch its newest Starship rocket prototype today (March 30) and you'll be able to watch it live when it flies. 

 

The Starship SN11 rocket was initially expected to attempt a launch from SpaceX's Starbase test site near Boca Chica Village in South Texas on Monday, but an inspector with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which oversees commercial space launches, was unable to reach the launch site in time, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said.

Well it didn't go well. The vehicle seems to have exploded during the attempt to relight the Raptor engines.

I assume it was unmaned, right?

Yes, just a prototype to attempt to perfect the landings.
