The latest village of Spacex began to smoke.
The company tests a ships In the upper stage of SIDA Site Site South Texas on Wednesday night (June 18), to prepare the future 10th flyocket.
But there is something wrong, as NasaspaceFlight.com’s video shows: The car explodes, which sent a large fireball to the texas of Texas high.

Excoke The incident is recognized by a X post early on Thursday morning (June 19), knowing it happened at 11 o’clock local (midnight EDT and 0400 GMT on June 19).
“A safe place of safety around the site is maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and regarded as,” plus spacox of the post. “Our Starbase team has been actively working to safely test the site and the immediate adjacent area with local officers.
Spacex develops the star, the largest and most powerful rocket established, until Human Help Colonize Marsamong other ambitious tasks.
The vehicle consists of two elements, which are both designed to be completely and fast available – a first-stage booster with super-stage spacecraft known as Starship, or plain ship.
It’s the ship to explode Wednesday night, at a Starbase Massey Site Site test (not the orbital mountain launch, where the starships are from the stars). According to the NASASSPACEFLIGHT, watching Starbase Starbase activity carefully, anomalia occurred before sending a static-fire test.
Static fires are usually prolifesting tests, where a rocket machine is seen shortly as the vehicle remains restarted on the ground. The Spacex made is a Static Fire on this shipAlthough the test involved is only one of its raptor engines; This test may have been intended to burn all six of them.
Spacex also static-fired on flight 10 Super Heavy Boosters, successful Inflicts all 33 of its raptors.
Wednesday night blast keeps a rope disables for stage stages. The ship was broken on the last three star test trips, which was launched in January, March and May this year.
Over Flight 7 and flight 8, “Strongly unable to be scheduled disassembly” happens less than 10 minutes after lifting. The ship flew greater Flight 9;; The spacex has lost contact with the vehicle of about 46 minutes after the allegation, and its pieces are likely to be set in India’s sea.
Super heavy turns better. In flight 7 and fly 8, for example, the booster returns to Starbase after launching for an enthusiastic arrest of “chopstick” arms in the tower. Flight 7 Super heavily flew to flight 9, which focuses on an important milestone for the Starship program. (Spacex never attempts to recover the booster of flight 9, and it’s broken as it comes for a planned “Hard Splashdown” in the Gulf of Mexico.)
Spacex further looks to happen to fly 9, an investigation to guard the US Federal Aviation Administration. So no one has been an official target date for the star fly 10 – and, if there is, it should be again after events on Wednesday night.
