SpaceX's latest test of next-generation mega rocket ends with upper stage disintegrating over Atlantic .

Elon Musk's company caught the first stage booster in the "chopstick" arms of its launch tower for a second time.

But the triumph was short-lived when teams lost contact with the upper stage vehicle.

The cause of the explosion appeared to be an "oxygen/fuel leak," Musk wrote on X.
