SpaceX’s launch from the Texas coast Thursday noticed the Starship capsule explode … making the rocket appear like a meteor bathe.
Elon shared video of the rocket’s bits and items falling again to earth … which of us down in Turks and Caicos noticed once they seemed up into the sky.
The explosion occurred about 9 minutes into the launch, after it indifferent from the Tremendous Heavy Booster.
Elon has a reasonably rosy outlook, posting … “Success is unsure, however leisure is assured!” Starship will ultimately have astronauts however nobody was on board this time.
SpaceX misplaced all communications with the rocket and stated, “Starship skilled a speedy unscheduled disassembly throughout its ascent burn.” Nerd speak for a rocket exploding into one million items.

The launch wasn’t all unhealthy … the Tremendous Heavy booster basically flew in reverse again to Earth … returning to the launch pad, the place it was grabbed by the launch and catch tower’s chopstick arms.
Elon says SpaceX will study from the explosion and make changes for the following launch … and he says an oxygen/gas leak appears to be the offender right here.
Starship’s objective is to take people to Mars at some point … however we’re not there but!!!
