    The world's first 3D-printed rocket made its launch debut on Wednesday night - but failed just three minutes into the flight. Made almost entirely of 3D-printed parts, the Terran 1 booster by California-based aerospace startup Relativity Space lifted off at 11.25pm local time from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
    The world’s first 3D-printed rocket made it off the launch pad Wednesday night but failed to reach orbit in a key test flight by a California-based aerospace startup. Relativity Space’s Terran 1 booster lifted off at 11:25 p.m. ET from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
    While it failed to reach orbit, Wednesday's launch proved that the rocket—whose mass is 85 percent 3D-printed—could withstand the rigors of lift-off. The successful launch came on the third attempt. It had originally been scheduled to launch on March 8 but was postponed at the last minute because of propellant temperature issues.
    Relativity Spacehas finally launched its 3D-printed rocket after multiple scrubbed attempts, but the results are decidedly mixed.
