SpaceX has blown up another Starship rocket. However, this time the timing was unusual. The giant space rocket exploded during a test conducted long before its scheduled launch. SpaceX has not disclosed the cause of the explosion.

SpaceX, the space transportation company led by billionaire businessman Elon Musk, continues its work on the colossal spacecraft, Starship. In this context, the company, which has conducted unsuccessful test launches recently, has now added another failure to its record. This time, a Starship exploded while being tested before launch. The moments of the Starship’s explosion were also captured on camera.

To be frank, we are used to Starship explosions. This is because SpaceX is using next-generation technologies in this spacecraft, which it plans to send even to Mars. Factors like the rocket’s reusability increase the challenges. However, the explosion that occurred in the past hours did not happen at a time we particularly expected. SpaceX has not provided any explanation regarding the cause of the explosion. No one was harmed.

All Starship rockets undergo various stages before launch. This time, the explosion occurred during the pre-launch process. The company was about to conduct a static fire test of the spacecraft when it encountered an unexpected situation before proceeding with the test.

Fortunately, no one was harmed during the explosion. According to a statement from the facility in Texas, the fire that broke out after the explosion took over two hours to extinguish. This is all we can share about this recent incident for now. We will inform you again if there are any new developments on the matter. You can watch the video of the Starship explosion below.
