American businessman Elon Musk launched his Starship rocket for the second time from its launch site in Texas.
The rocket flew for about eight minutes before SpaceX announced it had lost contact and ended its livestream.
The tip of the rocket successfully separated from the booster, which then exploded.
BBC correspondent Jon Amos says it self-destructed over the Atlantic.
During its first launch in April, the huge rocket broke apart and exploded after four minutes.
