当地时间3月6日，美国太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）新一代重型运载火箭“星舰”从美国得克萨斯州发射升空，实施第八次试飞。升空后不久，火箭第二级飞船与地面团队失去联系。
SpaceX launched the eighth test flight of its giant Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact with its spacecraft shortly after launch.
Starship took off from the company's Starbase facility near Brownsville in the US state of Texas at about 5:30 pm Central Time.
太空探索技术公司直播画面显示，发射后约8分钟，该火箭第一级助推器又一次实现发射塔回收，在降落时由发射塔上的机械臂“夹住”，在半空中“捕获”回收。但火箭第二级飞船失控，随后与地面团队失去联系，飞船直播画面中断。目前，具体原因仍在分析当中。
Less than 10 minutes after liftoff, the rocket's Super Heavy booster successfully returned to the launch site for a "chopsticks" catch — catching the returning booster using mechanical "chopsticks", called "Mechazilla", on the launch tower, according to live broadcast.
But the Starship spacecraft lost altitude control, and lost communication with the ground, according to the broadcast.
