SpaceX's new rocket, Starship, is the largest and most powerful in the world. The company seems to have underestimated the damage that a simple take-off of this 120-meter-high behemoth could cause.

SpaceX boss Elon Musk: "The engines, when they ignited, may have broken the concrete, rather than just eroded it"
