🚨#BREAKING: Watch as SpaceX Starship 36 explodes during static fire test right before launch later this month
📌#Starbase | #Texas
Watch as a massive explosion erupts near Starbase City, Texas, during a critical moment in SpaceX’s preparations for Starship Flight 10. The incident took place at the Masseys test site, where engineers were conducting a routine static fire test of Starship 36. Just as the engines ignited, the vehicle suddenly exploded, sending a massive fireball into the sky that was visible for miles video by @NASASpaceflight
Well, that would do it.
The pilot didn’t flare the aircraft before touchdown meaning the plane slammed into the ground while dropping at a rate so fast the main gear collapsed.
The right wing breaks off and the plane rolls, skidding to a stop.
Lot of questions here…
Starship’s fifth flight test was a seminal moment in iterating towards a fully and rapidly reusable launch system.
Next up: the sixth flight test of Starship is targeted to launch as early as Monday, November 18 → https://t.co/oIFc3u9laE
