Elon Musk's SpaceX is on its ambitious quest in the space industry, but its recent Starship mega rocket launch was a failure. This is a major blow to the company. The rocket was launched from Boca Chica, Texas, at 5:30 PM, flying high successfully before it exploding in space. Explosion videos are now going viral on social media.
SpaceX Reacts to the Explosion of the Rocket
SpaceX responded to the failure, reporting that an earlier test had concluded in a similar manner. The company highlighted that it would derive lessons from the incident and utilize the information in future development. After the explosion, huge chunks of the rocket were seen flying in the Florida and Bahamian skies, temporarily disrupting air traffic.
Recurring Issues with Starship Rocket
SpaceX has experienced similar problems before. Last month, another test of the reusable Starship rocket was a failure that was caused by technical issues. The rocket was destroyed, with parts crashing into the Caribbean Sea, although its booster landed on the launch pad.
